Following MRC’s latest 1645 Sound Decoder for Kato’s P-42 Genesis and EMD-E8 and EMD E-9 loco’s, MRC surges forward with another miracle of N-Scale decoder engineering: with no connectors, no wiring, no machining, no “dremeling”… the easiest decoder installation possible. N-Scale railroaders can install this one piece sound decoder/speaker combination that replaces the factory installed printed circuit board, by simply removing the loco body, unclipping the factory unit, and dropping in the 1644 decoder.

MRC’s “Brilliance™” sound, miniaturized to a single drop-in decoder with board mounted super-fidelity speaker, is virtually “plug ‘n play”. Just imagine… all 28 NMRA available functions, and your choices of multiple bells & numerous horns to give “life” to your DCC N-Scale loco’s.

We haven’t forgotten power pack users! MRC’s 1644 decoder is a dual-mode decoder so DC railroaders can get brilliantly synchronized diesel rumble sounds on their layout as well.
