The eMOTION XLS-Onboard provides a single, modern replacement and upgrade solution for these vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>It can replace or upgrade locomotives originally equipped with three different LGB configurations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>LGB Onboard Analog<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>LGB Onboard Decoder<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>LGB Onboard Decoder with Sound<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This means that the XLS-Onboard is not only suitable as a replacement for existing digital electronics. Locomotives originally equipped with analog Onboard electronics can also be upgraded to a powerful decoder solution with driving and sound functions.<\/p>\n<h3>Driving decoder and sound in one solution<\/h3>\n<p>The eMOTION XLS-Onboard combines driving decoder and sound functions on a single board. This provides the locomotive with modern digital control while also allowing it to be equipped with a suitable sound project.<\/p>\n<p>A wide range of Massoth sound projects is available for numerous locomotive models, allowing the decoder to be configured to match the respective vehicle.<\/p>\n<h3>Continue using the existing wiring<\/h3>\n<p>One of the major advantages of the XLS-Onboard is its design and connection system, which have been specifically adapted to LGB Onboard locomotives. Instead of completely rewiring the locomotive, the existing connections can be retained and simply connected to the new decoder.<\/p>\n<p>This makes replacement considerably easier and reduces the amount of work required for the conversion.<\/p>\n<h3>Analog and digital operation<\/h3>\n<p>Even after the upgrade, the locomotive remains flexible in operation. The XLS-Onboard supports both <strong>digital and analog operation<\/strong>, allowing suitably equipped locomotives to continue running on different types of layouts.<\/p>\n<h3>Four advantages at a glance<\/h3>\n<p><strong>1:1 Connection<\/strong><br \/>\nReuse the existing wiring \u2013 no extensive rewiring required.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Driving + Sound<\/strong><br \/>\nPowerful driving decoder and sound functions combined in one solution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wide Range of Sounds<\/strong><br \/>\nNumerous Massoth sound projects available for different locomotives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Analog &amp; Digital<\/strong><br \/>\nFlexible operation on both analog and digital layouts.<\/p>\n<h2>Bringing proven locomotives up to date<\/h2>\n<p>Whether originally equipped with <strong>Onboard Analog, an Onboard Decoder, or an Onboard Decoder with Sound<\/strong>, the eMOTION XLS-Onboard provides a single solution for upgrading many proven LGB locomotives with modern decoder technology and keeping them reliably in operation for years to come.<\/p>\n<p><strong>eMOTION XLS-Onboard \u2013 Item No. 8216100<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Simply replace.
