Hi everybody,
as the heading says ESU has just launched a new decoder generation.
I have just downloaded the instruction booklet and it makes for some very interesting reading. If you can read German.

I am sure that the English version will be online soon.
Continuous motor current is 1.5 amps

Even the Loksound Micro can handle 0.75 amps.
If I understand it correctly the standard version can also control two servo motors next to the loco motor, lights and all the different sounds.
I will post a link when I find the English instructions online.
