Zen Locomotive Decoders

When the loco has NO space, this decoder may still fit easily!

The ZN8H.nano is remarkably small! We started off with the world’s smallest, then shrunk it even more! With the same footprint as NANO 8-pin direct, we added wires… and shrunk it in thickness by nearly 50% to create a super-small go-anywhere wired decoder.

Zen decoders feature high end Swiss Microprocessors and our decoder software has always been super smooth, clever and easy to use but our new BLACK decoder range takes this to a new level, with extended and improved automatic braking and shuttle abilities, simple-to-use 1-step loco set-up and advanced brown-out protection.

ZEN also now has “Industry best” Back EMF for ultimate control on the flat AND up or down grades, no matter how steep or how heavy the train is!

This really IS great value, with 5 decoders for the price of 4!
