MRC is giving model railroaders the opportunity to bring to life dozens of G & O scale locomotives with this new sound decoder.

For Steam locomotives, the 0001819 Steam Decoder features a choice of multiple chuff types. Unlike others who use computer generated sounds, this decoder contains MRC’s true, live capture, full fidelity sounds like prime mover steam chuffs actually recorded (railside) by MRC’s Sound Engineers from the real locomotives.

Equipped with MRC’s world renowned Brilliance™ sound, and dynamic, super-fidelity 1½” speaker, the big locomotives truly come to life, from startup to shutdown. From the slowest “creep” to “top-end,” experience railroading like never before. It’s all there… all 28 NMRA available functions, and naturally, MRC provides user programmable, applicable horns, bells, brakes, air releases, pop valves, cooling fans, coupling sounds, fire box sounds and more. This decoder has a full complement of lighting functions too. All this without any modification needed to the body shell or chassis.

Not just for DCC systems, this decoder is dual mode so Power Pack Users aren’t left out in the cold! DC railroaders can get brilliantly synchronized sounds on their layout as well. And amazingly….. DC power pack users can also enjoy the 28 NMRA function, capability of this G & O gauge decoder when coupled to the unique & exclusive MRC BlackBox (#0001050) control unit.
