Model Rectifier Corporation Prodigy Express DCC Train Controller www.amazon.com/dp/B00DZOVH4G/...
If you want to purchase this set up here’s a link on amazon
Over all I think the set up is great and it has always worked for me without problems.I love it and will continue to use it
Awesome system! Glad you have a great DCC System!
Steven KC Railfan thanks I appreciate it
Where did you get it and how much was it?
just bought one and waiting for it to come
Nice !
Thanks!
Cool!
I have this!
Cool
is this compatible with kato unitrack? Like will it work if i cut off the end plug from my two wires
Yes it is
So would ez track wires work with the mrc power booster because i hooked them up , pluged the booster in and the power worked but the power too the track or the advanced 2 eltie controller doesnt have power , so do i need different track wires ?
Well no you just don’t use the plug thing on the end of the Bachmann you need to open wires and you screw them in
So do get different terminal wires then , because took the wire connecters off and still nothing
@@ZombieSlayer-dj3wb that’s odd, I’m not sure check with your local hobby shop
So what kind of terminal wires do you use
Hey will I don’t have a wire to hook up to the track but do you just cut the bachmmann wire to the track and hook it up to the main track program track if so contact me
Yes, that’s how I did it
Hey do you have some where I can contact you
@@goldenplainsrailroadedits follow my Instagram, it’s in my channel description
Okay
Great system! Any plans to add WiFi to your system? It’s a very inexpensive way to get a full walk around cab experience. Nice thing about MRC is you don’t need JMRI to do it.
Thanks! As of now no
I’m likely buying a prodigy system today until I can afford the ecu wifi cab control system that could handle the triple decker on its own as the prodigy will be the temporary as each of the four tiers of finishing completion
Do you have to buy another controller to use the wifi add on or can you use an app on phones
Where did you get the two wires that go into the green program box
It’s a Bachmann one but I cut the end plug off
@@unionpacificomaha that's what I thought. How did you cut it off. With sicors
@@DH2906PRODUCTIONS wire cutters
@@unionpacificomaha ok. I have bean asking these questions because I am 14 and I am trying to get podegy express running
@@DH2906PRODUCTIONS I’m 15 and it’s okay
What is the difference between this and the gaugemaster prodigy express? Good review by the way!
I’m not sure, sorry I’m not much help
How well does this work with Kato unitrack?
Not sure should be fine
Thanks. Got a ho starter set so eventually I’ll use that. Can it run consists?
Thanks and your welcome.Yes it can
Andrew033009 Is the starter set DC or DCC
@@owenthetrainman7219 whats the diff
Andrew033009 DCC you can run multiple trains, at different speeds, and different directions at the same time. It also allows you to control sound in locomotive. DC you can only run one train, and if you do have two locomotives on the tracks, the will copy each other.
Owen the Train Man correct
So this will work with Bachman ez track?
Yes
@@unionpacificomaha Thanks
Did you find out why your LOCO. was not moving? I am thinking of purchasing this controller. I am new to DCC , so natuarally I am a little confused yet. It would be great if you had a video detailing the entire set up process with multiple wire to track options for newbies to the hobby. Thank you
It’s easy just take a Bachmann wire, cut off the plug side amr screw the wires into the port. Then with the track plug side, you plug it in
@@unionpacificomaha Thank you very much for the quick feedback, it is greatly appreciated. I hate to be a bother, but I am still curious as to your issue with your Loco. as to why it was not responding to move.
@@edwarddillon6016 I’m confused since I haven’t watched this video in a long time. Locos will only respond when you have there codee address plugged into the controller
@@unionpacificomaha That makes sense, good to know, I will make sure I enter all codes. Looking forward to my controller arriving soon. Thank you again .
Your welcome! If you need anymore help just ask
Cool!
