BEMF and N Scale. N scale has always presented a challenge in the area of motor control due to the small size of the motor and flywheels. All this has changed with the introduction of TCS's new BEMF (BEMF = Back EMF / Load Compensation programming, built into the new TCS chips) which compensates for the small size of N motors/flywheels. TCS BEMF provides outstanding slow speed control for N. TCS's new advanced BEMF automatically adjusts for optimum control through all speed ranges.
New CN Classic Decoder has been designed to fit inside the Atlas RS series of locos. Two small boards connected by wire (factory connected) replace the "headlight" PC boards on each end of the OEM frame. You need to "isolate" the motor and solder a wire attachment ... that's it. The result is a full function DCC loco (all the features of TCS's regular decoders) plus the added performance benefits of the new BEMF control. If you click on the PC board photos above, TCS shows complete install details on this simple conversion. Highly recommended. Your classic Atlas RS series of locos have never un so well! We expect that this new decoder will also fit other split frame N scale locos.

Train Control System Decoders feature:

  • Drop in style decoders for easy installation.
  • Best availability in the industry -- you can get 'em when you want 'em!
  • Golden White LEDs
  • Decoders are almost transparent on DC, making the engine act like a decoder isn't there. Brake on DC allows you to control the lights while the train is in a DC block.
  • Quiet Drive is active at all times.
  • Dither provides rapid bursts of power to overcome resistance. You control both the power and frequency. See slow speeds unequalled in the industry.
  • Lighting Effects: Auto-reversing headlights, Mars, Gyra, Rotary Beacon, Single- and Double-Pulse Strobe, Opposite Dim, Flashing and Random flicker. Rule 17 headlight dimming can be set to occur when stopped, opposite the direction of travel, or both. You always have manual control.
  • Button Control allows you to pick the control buttons of your choice.
  • Factory Reset lets you change most of your choices back to their factory default values if you get into a situation you don't like.
  • 128 speed steps are active when Mid volts, Top volts, Start volts or the user- loadable speed table is active for much smoother operation.
  • Primary 2-digit addressing or advanced 4-digit addressing may be used.
  • Consist Addressing has a Special Feature allowing you to automatically turn off any undesired lighting when you add the engine to a consist.
  • TCS decoders support all programming modes plus OPS mode ( on-track programming ) and meet NMRA DCC standards for compatibility
  • Adjustable dim is used to set the intensity level of a LED
  • Three point adjustable acceleration and deceleration curve.
  • Acceleration and deceleration can be adjusted independently of each other.
  • Improved, more prototypical Ditch light operation.
  • Improved MARS light. We gave the MARS a smoother and more prototype look.
  • Improved Rotary Beacon.
  • All X series decoders come standard with with Dither (adjustable pulse power).
