Dear Ed,

NCE 808-8 AMP Decoder. Hope that helps. John

They make great decoders that you could use to control the motor and add the Tsunami for sound and extra lights.

I wonder if the decoder is actually shutting down from excessive heat build up instead of over or high current? I don't think some brands can dissipate the heat that's built up.

 So maybe a fan inside with extra heat sinking might help. I've seen posts about certain brands overheating when the current is near their capacity. I didn't like having to daisy chain different brands of decoders and struggle to program them for precise motor control. Others crack on my choice, but it's a major part of why I went with MTH. They handle the motor current very well. The sounds are close to the original. You may have to manually play with the sounds if you want engine over revs and etc. They also handle smoke units and lights very well. At the time, they were the best game in town for me. I'm still happy with them overall.
