The Circuitron Electronics AS-1 is a solid-state automatic slowdown circuit for model railroaders building HO or N scale layouts. It provides adjustable, fixed-step speed reduction for station approaches or downhill sections.

Technical details

  • Product: Single AS-1 automatic slowdown circuit.
  • Material: Solid-state electronic circuitry on a circuit board.
  • Scale: HO and N scale model train layouts.
  • Compatibility: AC or DC track power. The circuit connects in series with one track lead and is not for Command Control.
  • Load capacity: Heat sinking supports loads up to 2 amps.
  • Adjustment range: Output is continuously variable from 0 up to within 3 volts of the input voltage.
  • Board size: 2 x 3 inches.

How it works

The AS-1 provides a consistent fixed step of speed reduction, making it useful for automatic station stops and downhill speed control. Unlike a momentum system, it does not create a gradual slowing effect. Flywheels in many locomotives can reduce the abruptness of the speed change.
