Kato FL12 DCC Function Decoder - HO/N Scale KA-29-352

KATO manufactures a product called the DCC-friendly train decoder, which is designed for easy installation on DCC-friendly (N/HO) electric trains, passenger cars, and diesel railcars. The FL12 decoder is specifically designed to control the headlights and taillights of the leading car of a DCC-friendly train. It offers several features, including a transponding (position detection) function, two function circuits (with a maximum of 125mA each), and automatic switching of lights based on the direction of travel.

The FL12 decoder also has the ability to switch between headlight and taillight illumination depending on the direction in which it is inserted. When inserted in the opposite direction, it can be used for the rear car of the train. Installation is relatively straightforward – simply remove the underfloor equipment, remove the light-off switch, and insert the decoder in the same position.

In summary, the DCC-friendly train decoder by KATO is a versatile product that offers easy installation and efficient control of headlights and taillights for electric train-type leading cars. With its transponding function and automatic light switching based on direction of travel, it provides a convenient solution for enhancing the functionality of DCC-friendly trains.
