The M1 decoder is the quietest decoder we have seen yet. Nearly zero hum or buzz from the engine. For the money this is one of the best DCC values on the market. Even the included instruction sheet is well designed and written.
This decoder is small enough for N scale but strong enough for HO! From the start the design criteria for the M1 decoder was to make it small for N scale but fully capable of powering HO locos! At 0.355" wide and 0.132" thick it will fit in many N scale locos. With its smooth and strong 1amp motor drive it is well suited for any N Scale application.
