54621 ESU LokPilot Fx V4.0 decoder No Motor Function

This small but nice function decoder has no motor output and is perfectly made for control cars or functional models. As it speaks DCC with RailCom® as well as Motorola® and Selectrix® it can be operated with all common digital command stations. Its flexible function key allocation and the various light effects are typical ESU V4 decoder features.

Operational modes

The LokPilot Fx V4.0 is multi-protocol decoder meaning it speaks all common data formats such as DCC, Motorola® and Selectix®. In DCC mode 14-128 speed steps are possible, as well as 2- and 4-digit addresses. You can activate up to 28 functions. Thanks to RailComPlus®, the decoders will be automatically recognised by a suitable command station (e.g. ECoS). It is able to control all DCC programming modes und thus can be driven and programmed by all DCC-compatible digital command stations. CV values can be read out on the main track with corresponding command stations, thanks to RailCom®. There are indexed CVs for command stations which are only able to program CVs from 1-255 (e.g. ROCO® Multimaus). Motorola® users benefit from up to 28 speed steps with 255 addresses. Three further Motorola® addresses allow the activation of 16 functions. The installed programming mode makes re-programming with the venerable Control Unit® 6021 also possible. The LokPilot Fx V4.0 decoder auto-detects the known Märklin® braking sectors as well as the ZIMO® HLU braking commands or the Lenz® ABC system. Braking with DCC brake generators or with DC (“Brake on DC”) is supported. Furthermore you will be able to stop your train by using the Selectrix® braking diode. Although this decoder has no motor it is, however, important for the functional decoder as well as the car decoder that they recognise the entrance of a brake section. The LokPilot Fx 4.0 decoder can be used for both analogue DC or AC locomotives. The decoder automatically switches between the different operating modes “on-the-fly”. In most cases one does not have to adjust anything.

Interaction

The LokPilot Fx V4.0 can also be operated with a LokSound V4.0 and a LokPilot V4.0 decoder: Therefore it´s possible to e.g. install a LokSound V4.0 decoder into the loco of a trainset and equip the control car with a LokPilot Fx V4.0. Provided they have the same address, the decoders will act absolutely identical. The identical CV arrangement makes the synchronization of both decoders easier.

Functions

The LokPilot Fx V4.0 decoder has 6 function outputs. The 21MTC version you can select between an amplified or a logic level for AUX3 and AUX4. All important light functions are available. The brightness of each output can be adjusted separately.

Protection

Of course, all function outputs and the motor current output are overload protected. We want you to have fun with your decoder as long as possible!

FAQs

What sizes or scales are your storage boxes designed for?
TrainTote boxes are designed primarily for HO & N scale trains with other popular modeling scales coming soon. Each box includes adjustable inserts to help you create the right fit for your collection.
Can I store trains standing up or lying flat?
Yes! TrainTote storage boxes are built to protect your models whether they’re placed upright or on their sides. This flexibility helps prevent damage to delicate parts like couplers, handrails, and ladders.
How many train cars fit in a single box?
Capacity depends on the size of the cars and how you arrange them. On average, each box holds 12–20 HO scale freight cars or a mix of locomotives and rolling stock. Adjustable dividers let you customize the layout to fit longer or taller items.
Do the boxes include padding or dividers?
Every TrainTote box comes with protective foam and removable partitions to keep your models secure during transport or storage. You can easily reposition the inserts based on the size and shape of your equipment.
Is the material safe for long-term storage?
Yes. All materials used in TrainTote products are selected to be safe for your models over time. The foam is non-abrasive and acid-free, and the box design keeps dust, light, and moisture exposure to a minimum.
Can TrainTote boxes be stacked or transported easily?
Definitely. Our boxes are lightweight yet durable and built to stack securely. They also slide directly into the TrainTote Carrying Case, making it easy to transport your collection to train shows, club meets, or storage shelves.
Are TrainTote boxes only for trains?
Not at all! While they’re made for model trains, these boxes are also great for storing small modeling supplies like strip wood, styrene, wiring, tools, or even parts from other hobbies.
How should I prepare my models before placing them in the box?
For best results, we recommend:
  • Wrapping each model in soft, lint-free material (acid-free tissue works well).
  • Using the included foam inserts to reduce shifting.
  • Labeling compartments for easy identification.
What’s the best way to store the boxes themselves?
Keep your TrainTote boxes in a cool, dry location away from extreme temperatures or humidity. A shelf, closet, or cabinet works well—especially if you use the carrying case to keep everything organized.
How long will a TrainTote box last?
With normal use, TrainTote boxes are made to last for years. The materials resist wear and tear from stacking, handling, and regular transport, giving you peace of mind that your collection is well protected.
