Thanks to Digitrax for supplying Ztrains with the following release and images.
The Digitrax DZ123Z0 is a 1 amp DCC board replacement mobile decoder. It is designed to easily replace the light board for solder free installation in an American Z Line GP-30 and GP38-2. It can also be used with the Budd RDC, which requires some soldering to do the install. The decoder is also compatible with most American Z Line diesel locomotives with a 5-digit part number, including the announced future releases such as SD70/75, GP7/9, AC4400, C44-9W, GP38-2, F3, F7 and the SD45.
The decoder comes with surface mounted LED lights for forward and reverse headlight functions featuring Digitrax FX3 prototypical lighting effects.

Digitrax DZ123MK0 Next is the Digitrax UP6Z, a 3 Amp Z Scale Voltage Reducer and Universal Panel. The UP6Z is designed to be used with your Digitrax Command Stations and Boosters to lower the output voltage to a level that will not damage Z scale motors and shells. The UP6Z is simply hooked up in line with the outputs from your Command Station or Booster and can be used to drop the voltage to the track by either 4 volts or 6 volts. Additionally, the UP6Z can be used as a LocoNet Universal Panel and once connected to an existing LocoNet, it can be used to plug in additional LocoNet devices.
