Without the a SL Power Buffer, your loco can stall or jerk and lights flicker or go out on switch frogs, dirty track or dead sections of track. The SL Automatic Gold Cap Buffer eliminates these power interruptions in the same way a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Source) can keep you computer operating when power fails. When your loco passes over the bad track, the buffer continues to supply power to the motor, lights, sound and all other loco features, your loco continues to operate even without track power!
What is an automatic Power Buffer?
A power buffer stores energy to run your train should power be interrupted. Power interruptions often occur when a loco passes through a switch or over a bad or dirty section of track. The a SL Power Buffer is unique in that it automatically disconnects the power buffer when you perform programming operations. Other power buffers require you to install a switch and turn it off prior to programming you loco. In addition the Shourt Line Automatic power buffer limits the charging current to avoid damaging your decoder.
The Shourt Line Power Buffer is also unique in that it has only two wires to connect, has automatic operation and is very small in size to allow placement where other buffers do not fit.

Hook-up Instructions:
Easy Hook-up: Just connect red wire to + and black wire to the plus (+) & minus (-) outputs on your decoder.
Some decoders require that the analog mode of the decoder must be deactivated with a Power Buffer; otherwise the decoder detects the buffer as a false power source and changes to analog mode. Normally the analog mode is deactivated if CV29 bit2 is set to “0”. Please check the correct setting according to your decoder instructions..
Easy Placement: The
control circuit and capacitor are separated to allow flexible placement
where other power buffers just don't fit. This photo shows a typical
loco with no room to fit an LGB power buffer but the Shourt Line
SL-APB-8300 fits easily. Notice the control circuit is in the left side
the photo to the left and under the Massoth XLS sound decoder and the
power buffers capacitor fits nicely in the area to the right.
Pick the size and capacity of your choice: The Automatic Power Buffers are available in sizes and capacity for every G-Scale Loco (from top to bottom the buffer above are;
- SL-APB-33000 33,000uF (3X power)
- SL-APB-22000 22,000uF (2X power)
- SL-APB-10000 10,000uF (>1X power)
- SL-APB-8200 8,200uF (1X power = LGB 65011 = Massoth 8865011)
- SL-APB-4400 4,400uF (small loco size)
- SL-APB-3300 3,300 (very small loco size)
Please contact the Shourt Line for help in selecting the buffer for your loco and track.
Avoid stalled locos: Provides
power to travel over dead switch frogs or dirty sections of track while
sound, lights, motor, smoke and other accessories continue to operate.
