    NOTE: The KAT1X series is no longer available, but we keep this information available for posterity.

    A full featured, 6 function, harnessed decoder with a built in Keep-Alive™. The built-in KA1 Keep-Alive™ will keep your locomotive operating for 2-5 seconds without power (dirty track, bad contact, etc. etc.). Included is our auto-adjusting BEMF for outstanding slow speed performance. Also includes Quiet Drive for super quiet engine performance.
