• User selectable multi-scale operation for N, HO, and large-scale layouts

• Track Status indicator shows voltage and signal type (DCC or "Zero Stretch" Analog Signal for conventional operation.)

• Stabilized Track Drive Output.

• Sync output configures DB150 Operating Mode & connects the DB150 to expansion boosters

• High impedance balanced or unbalanced signal input receivers on the LocoNet Interface allow boosting of several different types of command control signals.
