The TD Maxi decoder by tOm is a DCC accessory decoder and can drive 4 turnouts with two electromagnets or with motor drive. It can also be successfully used to drive various accessories: Electromagnetic relays, LEDs or incandescent bulbs, etc. The particularity and originality of the decoder is the use of a group of capacitors as an electric charge battery (CDU Capacitor Discharge Unit). With this circuit you can greatly reduce the electrical shock experienced in digital systems when switching a turnout with high power consumption. Capacitors help to create a current pulse for a safer and steady switching. The charging current of the capacitors is constant, without adverse effects for the system (this constant current can be set by CV41). More than that, the start of the charging operation can be delayed randomly after the power up, so in the case of using several TD Maxi decoders on the same layout, the DCC system will be not overloaded at the power on sequence.

Tramfabriek & Son
Luc and Sven van der Hart
My name is Sven van der Hart (1970) and live in Eton Wick in England. I started designing the first small model steam tramway locomotive in 2012, as it wasn’t available at that time. Initially it was only for myself, but very soon people discovered that I was making this very detailed loco, and even before it was finished, the first orders came in and the Tramfabriek was born.
For my modelling, I needed specific parts which were hard to find. The parts I couldn't buy, I had made. As I wasn't the only one who was looking for those parts, I shared them on my webstore. With those parts, the customer base started to grow and it became a full time business.
Feel free to contact me if you have a question. I normally respond very quick (remind me, if you didn’t receive an answer in three days, I get a LOT of email).
Regular updates on model building, all my other creative inspiration and behind-the-scenes photos you can find on my Facebook page.
