Someone sent me a link to the Railpro/ring engineering site a few months ago.
I like to know the specs on my system. I read all the information on the their receiver/decoder module and I could find no reference to the current rating for the device. I have no idea what it will support. Also, I noticed the size and I think it is bigger than the NCE 408 Decoder which is a very good O scale decoder. I can fit a 408 in most steamers, but I don't know about this thing. And I felt a little insulted that won't give out the specs so I can decide if it is useful for me or not. I have a few older USH and MG locos and they draw some amps.
The RailPro module available today is designed for 1A rating. It handles motor, lighting and sound. It's definitely smaller in size to a NCE 408. It does have a fire proof casing around it which also helps protect the module components from shorts since it's designed to fit into an HO locomotive using the 9-pin JST connector.
