Keep Alive®

Keep Alive® technology eliminates current issues from poor track and electrical pickups. For sound decoders specifically, Keep Alive® prevents sound interruptions and engine stalling that can occur from hiccups in power delivery. When power to your locomotive is interrupted, Keep Alive® delivers 5-8 seconds of additional power to keep your locomotive running through dead spots on the track. Everything continues to run: motor, lights, and sounds. Cutting power to your layout will activate the Keep Alive® device, so don't be surprised if you still hear the locomotive making sounds for several seconds. Nothing's wrong - that's Keep Alive® doing its job!
