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 power buffer fits easily. Notice the control circuit is in the center of the photo to the right of the Massoth XLS sound decoder and the power buffers capacitor fits nicely in the area to the right.
