MRC Black Box by MRC (MRC0001050)

Are Loco Sounds Only For DCC Guys? …Not Anymore!


* The BlackBox is not DCC so does not address any locomotive.
* It can be used in analog DC with any NMRA compatible dual mode decoder, eg: BLI/QSI, Atlas, Life-Like, Athearn, MTH, Precision Craft, etc.
* Instead of having to buy a control box from every company to operate only their locomotive, this can operate them all. so all you need is just one box.
* It operates all the sound functions that the particular loco has inside of it, but can not operate functions that are not there; for instance, it will access up to F28 on the MTH K-4, but a normal BLI/QSI loco may only have up to F12, so there is no F28 to access in that loco.
* It is a very simple 4-wire hook-up - two wires to your DC powerpack's variable output, and two wires to the track.
* If you use non-decoder equipped locos the BlackBox must be removed from the powerpack to run them.
* The BlackBox can be used in a layout with block control, [cab A/cab B], as one of the cabs so you can run sound loco's on one cab, and normal DCC locos on the other.


** Please Note - This item will not work with Broadway Limited's "Blue Line" locomotives without adding a mobile decoder to the loco.
