GVBLANKPRO Golden Valley Hobbies 8 Pin DCC Blanking Plate with Stay Alive.

A simple plug-and-play accessory for smoother, more reliable running on analogue DC model railways. Helps prevent locomotives from hesitating or stopping when electrical contact is interrupted and can reduce flickering lights.

The unit plugs directly into an 8-pin decoder socket, which are fitted to many locomotives released in the last 20 years.

No wiring or soldering is required. (Please check your model's specification for compatibility and instructions on accessing the decoder socket.)

Benefits

  • Improves running performance and reliability.
  • Helps overcome brief interruptions caused by dirty track or wheel contacts.
  • Reduces flickering locomotive lights.
  • Quick and easy plug-in installation.
  • Compatible with most major brands (Hornby, Bachmann, Dapol, etc.).
Details
  • Fits locomotives with an 8-pin decoder socket.
  • Built-in capacitor helps maintain a steady power supply.
  • Plug-and-play design with no soldering required.

Dimensions: 25mm x 10mm x 12mm – please check space available in your model first.

Please note: this is not a replacement for regular track and wheel maintenance. The capacitor stores a small amount of energy and releases it when needed to help bridge brief interruptions in power.
