MRC Tech 6 can operate locos that are not decoder equipped and they run on DC power just like you have been doing with your power pack. Get precise throttle control, momentum (adjustable, but we will get to this later) and forward and reverse control.
Key Features
Press the direction button and you are going in reverse
Simply press button #1 and you will hear the loco’s bell
Press # 2 and listen for the horn or whistle.
Press 0 and lights will turn on or off.
So now any decoder equipped loco will provide the diesel rumble or steam chuff coordinated with the speed, and you will be controlling lights, bell and horn all with simple 1 touch operation for each feature you wish to use. Very Simple!!
You can adjust how fast the loco accelerates or how much time it takes to decelerate, also change the start voltage and the top end voltage. Remember when you make these adjustments it works, whether you are using a non-decoder equipped loco or decoder equipped loco.
Your decoder controlled loco will have other unique sounds included, depending on the decoder manufacturer’s features. Most modern decoders have 28 sounds or features. You can access all 28 of these functions simply. All you do is to press the number and you hear the sound or operate the feature. Wow So Easy…
You can also grow with your Tech 6. As you become more familiar with DCC you can change the settings in your decoder. These are called CVs and yes, your tech 6 can handle this as well. And do it without too much fuss.
