Wanted to know I had plenty of amperage no matter how many locos were working or idling with sound on. Super happy with this power addition.
Although running n gauge which ought to support many locos with standard NCE Power Cab, I decided on being ahead of the power curve by insuring I had more than enough amperage only layout. This booster was super easy to install and it allows me to not only run 3-4 trains but can have several other sound equipped locomotives idling with sound on without worrying I was over taxing my original Power Cab controller. Excellent addition.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great Product!
I out grew my Power cab (3 trains only) and my layout kept resetting. 2 quick minutes plugging in the Smart Booster and all my problems are over. What a great add! One word of warning!

I now have smooth power throughout the layout. At first I couldn't get it to work, so I called NCE Tech Support, and the fellow there walked me through the setup. Turns out The locos on the track had been setup as a CONSIST, and the new SB5 had "no knowledge" of this. I deleted the consist with the old Powercab, and it all works fine now.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

NCE SB5 Smart Booster
I’m not a technically inclined person and I had no problems adding this to my NCE powercab. Very easy. Definitely gave my layout the boost it needed for my roster of sound equipped locomotives.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

It’s not necessary for a smaller layout but it helps. If one is thinking of expanding buy one.
Great product. Enjoy its versatility and ease to set up.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
