Spoorlaar decoder tester

The Spoorlaar decoder tester SPLR6500 is one of my recent developments. I designed these specifically with N gauge in mind. Unlike the ESU testers, the SPLR6500 does have the AUX5&6 of the NEXT18 connected. Also on the SPLR6500 is an MTC14 jack! Everything is beautifully incorporated into a compact size of only 6 x 8 cm. And thanks to the expansion header, H0 riders need not worry, as expansions are on the horizon.

Small decoder tester for N-scale decoders. (About the size of a playing card).

Progress Minitrix MaK 6400 circuit boards 22/10/24

The first circuit boards has now been tested. In doing so I discovered that the placement of the screw holes was not correct, also the LEDs of the shunting light did not work correctly. This has been fixed with the second circuit board version. Meanwhile, these are also already on their way.

Testing the light functions was a success. I used a tOm decoder for this purpose. When using a speaker, the cab lamp will be dropped, the shunting lighting should be connected separately to the decoder with a wire. For reliable operation of the shunting lighting, a capacitor will also be included.

The LED lighting will be available with white or yellow LEDs.
