Ztrack & HTM Release FRED High-cubes

Ztrack and HTM have partnered to bring FRED's to Z! HTM is internationally known for the Z scale electronics. HTM has equipped AZL TTX 60' high-cube box cars with a red flashing end of train devices.

The FRED is made from a maintenance free LED. It is mounted to the coupler to match the prototypes. The LED blinks and is flicker free when power is applied. The FRED is powered from the rails. HTM modifies each car, and applied the LED in their shop in Germany.

Ztrack is excited to be able to partner with HTM and bring these cars into the US. Our first shipment has arrived and is ready to ship! No assembly required. The car is ready to be placed on your rails!

Hey Rob,

Is this car compatible with both DC and DCC?


Thanks,
Josiah

The car is definitely DC ready. I checked with HTM concerning DCC. Here is their response:

Just for the FREDs, these are working from 7 - 16 Volt, analogue and digital with all systems - isn't it great (o.k. I am proud of it). Anyway, your client can use these with DCC. I guess, he has anyway reduced voltage, otherwise it would be dangerous for the locomotive motors.

So it appears we are good for both!
