I’ll probably be sorry I started this topic but my curiosity finally got the best of me.

 

I’m a long time model railroader, very long time.  Early on I as a young teen built everything, including my power supplies.  16 volt high current transformer, Selenium rectifier and wire wound potentiometer for speed control.  I hand laid all of my track and built my turnouts on a shelf in my bedroom.

 

When I was old enough to earn some money I bought a MRC power pack, I was in heaven.  As time went on I grew into a career job and started my first layout.  As the years passed I enhanced my model railroad and stayed with MRC power packs.  I stayed with MRC through the years because I never had a single problem with them.

 

Finally in the 2000s I wanted to add sound to my locomotives so I made the decision to cut over to DCC.  Again because I had never experienced any kind of problem with MRC Product for over 50 years I chose to go with MRC Prodigy Advance Squared DCC.  I have used it for what I would say heavy duty model railroading (multiple Cab Forwards pulling 3½% grades) for close to 10 years without a single problem.  I have decoders from several manufacturers and all work very good, again not one single problem.

 

After all of that my question is why does MRC DCC attract so much flack?

I still operate my layout as dual system DC and DCC, mainly because of cost.  I have 12 decoders 4 MRC, 6 Digitrax and 2 Soundtraxx.  Over the last 60 plus years I have accumulated over 70 locomotives.  I run my steam decoder equipped locomotives and a few diesels on DCC.  I have built up several specialty diesel locomotives that need multiple DCC functions to operate.  I have wired every locomotive with a NMRA 8 pin socket, all are DCC ready with a shorting plug installed for DC operation.

 

As I said above this is just my curiosity, I’m not criticizing any other manufactures equipment.  My decoder preference now is the Digitrax plane Jane DH-126 decoder for cost and ease of installation and the Soundtraxx TSU-1000 SP Cab Forward, their sound is out of this world.

I guess it's an old age thing, I keep hitting the wrong keys on the keyboard.
