This is a power/output booster for large digitally controlled layouts. It can handle multiple protocols in conjunction with the 60213/60214 Central Station. It can be connected directly to the 60213/60214 Central Station by means of a 9-conductor data bus line. Several Boosters can be used in a system by means of the 60125 Terminal. The Booster automatically registers itself in the 60213/60214 Central Station. An LED on the Booster indicates its operating status; this status is also available graphically in the display on the 60213/60214 Central Station.

A maximum output power of 58 VA and a maximum current of 3 amps is available, when the Booster is used with the 60061 switched mode power pack (only 230 volt version available). Expect to be able to run 3-4 trains on a single booster circuit. You will also need a transformer, like the 60055, and rail insulators 74030, and pickup shoe lifts.

Dimensions 150 x 110 x 80 mm / 5-7/8" x 4-5/16" x 3-1/8".
 

Charlie's Tip: This booster is identical to the 60175 (except the color of the case) , capable of Marklin Motorola, MFX and DCC.

The 60174 Booster is only designed for operation in conjunction with the 60213/60214/60215 Central Stations and the new CS3 and CS3Plus.
