Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
we would like to inform you again about our current product information and innovations:
8444050 Turnout Heater EVO-X
https://www.massoth.de/en/product/8444050/
In the past months our development department has continued to work on the expansion of the EVO product range. In addition to the already delivered 8444000 Switch Drive EVO-S, the delivery of the 8444010 Switch Drive EVO-X will follow soon, as already announced.
As a further accessory to the EVO-X, the 8444050 turnout heater EVO (3/pack) will be released (and is already available). The set of three including a self-configurable connection cable complements the EVO-X perfectly and guarantees snow- and ice-free turnout tongues even in winter. The turnout heating is completely passive and therefore not sensitive to moisture, as a further safety feature the heating coil is not attached to the surface, so it is also mechanically protected. The heating is controlled by command from EVO-X. With an appropriately fused output, the electronics of the EVO-X are safe even if the point heating should ever be defective (short circuit). The new point heater EVO is already available.
8179000 DiMAX FB Bus Adapter
https://www.massoth.de/en/product/8179000/
The DiMAX FB bus distributor is, in a simple denominator, a multiple socket for the Massoth DiMAX FB Feedback bus. Compared to the DiMAX control bus, the DiMAX feedback bus uses shielded CAT network cables. The bus distributor offers four freely accessible DiMAX FB bus sockets (8-pin). In addition, there is a classic (6-pin) DiMAX bus socket inside the housing. This allows the new DiMAX FB bus system to be connected to digital command stations without DiMAX FB bus. A separate power supply is not necessary. The new bus distributor is already available.
8440013 Drive for single-arm pantograph 2.0 (2/pack)

8440023 Drive for scissor pantograph 2.0 (2/pack)
https://www.massoth.de/en/product/8440023/
Also available in the next weeks are the new pantograph drives – they replace the articles 8440012 and 8440022. The known mechanical advantages compared to other products available on the market remain of course after the update. In addition, there are now also extended electronics with fully integrated DCC decoder. Comparable to 8442010 shunting coupler 2.0, the pantograph drives can also be operated directly via DCC, as well as still at the function output with FAx(-), DEC(+) and DEC(-).
We would also like to particularly emphasize the possibility of being able to individually set the extension height of the pantograph. This allows the customer to extend the pantographs realistically and or to a safe height even without an overhead line.
8175800 Decoder Serviceboard 2.0
https://www.massoth.de/en/product/8175800/
The extended Decoder Serviceboard 2.0 has been optimized and now supports even more garden railway relevant components. A connection for function drives (shunting coupler, pantograph drive) including test button is now integrated.
8170010 DiMAX FB Feedback Module
https://www.massoth.de/en/product/8170010/
The DiMAX FB feedback module is used to detect events on the model railroad layout, such as the reporting of a train on a certain track or the feedback of a switched turnout. The module monitors 16 contact inputs (compared to 8 previously with 8170001). In case of a switching change at an input, a command is sent to the control center on the DiMAX FB Feedback Bus. This can cause different actions depending on the programming of the module. Either a turnout is switched directly, an automatic function is started in the DiMAX control center or the feedback is forwarded to a PC.
Additionally integrated is the function: To use the contact inputs also for the connection of a LED. Thus, the feedback module can also be used as a kind of display module, e.g. to build a track diagram with occupancy indication. For future extensions the new DiMAX FB feedback module is of course updateable and still offers a radio interface (future use).
As spare part series we manufacture a small quantity of the former

8151301 eMOTION Powercap nano
This extremely small powercap is also suitable for small, single-engine models, up to light railroad locomotives and buffers a few seconds – enough to get a small locomotive over a dirty track section. (Photo and listing on website to follow)
