Hi, the new gneertion V 5.0 lokpilots will soon be released (at the end of this month) at different level of time, this includes, lokpilots, micro lokpilots and FX lokpilots

with either a PluX 16, PLuX22, Next 18 (micro decoders) or a 6 pin or 8 pin adapter or with 21 MTC pins, ESU also announced no price increase will occur, decoders have the capability to recognize 4 different protocols,
Lokpilots will 10 powered outlets, lokpilot micro will have 4 powered outlets and 2 logic levels.

there are other new items such as tank wagons, Silberlinge and G scale models of the RhB ABe 4/4 III

new versions of loudspeakers have also been introduced

50342 Speaker 9mm x 16mm x 3.0mm, square, 8 Ohm, with soundbox, 0.5W Q2/20
50343 Speaker 29mm x 65mm x 14mm, square, 8 Ohm, Passive Radiator Q1/20
50344 Speaker 24mm x 55mm x 8.6mm, square, 8 Ohm, Passive Radiator Q1/20
50345 Speaker 22mm x 42mm x 8.0mm, square, 4 Ohm, Passive Radiator Q2/20

One thing I wasn't aware of it ESU can program sound files projects for an extra cost of Euro 20.00, these are special sound files, why they are not in the main selection of sound files downloads is something I don't know why. , most of the sound files if not all are available as a sound decoder, it may be for other than ESU sound decoder files ?

ESU will be represented at this years model railway fair

Nürnberg toy fair 2020, at the new spot Hall 7A, booth B-47.

Does anybody know when the ESU brochure will be presented?

Can’t wait to find out if they will bring a matching locomotive to pull their Silberlinge coaches.

Thanks
Interesting new decoders.
they are also releasing some interesting new (but large) speakers for steam and diesel. quote: "Especially for diesel or steam
locomotives, this module is a real alternative for those who like deep bass, but not rely on extreme volume."
