ESU Loksound 5
« on: January 23, 2019, 08:33:29 PM »
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.  ;D
I am sure that the English version will be online soon.
Continuous motor current is 1.5 amps  :eek:
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.

Well that's interesting.  Will be good to get one to play with in the wild.

I've just received my first Loksound V 5 decoder.
Below a picture to show the size difference between V 1 and V 5
Smaller with many more features.

That is really looking nice. always good to go smaller and get more punch out. Easy to fit  :thumb:
