    MRC Prodigy Express questions

    The lights don't work at all. Just to make sure, I took the Dcc card out reinstalled the "Jumper"card and ran the engine on DC and the lights worked correctly. Put the Dcc card back in, the engine runs the correct direction, but no lights. In the reversing the card instructions it said to move...

    MRC Prodigy Express questions

    OK, now for the lights Thanks guys! Got the engine to run. Although it ran in reverse when I wanted it to run forward. Accordng to Blue Line, if this happens, I should turn the decoder card 180 in the socket. Unfortunately there is a wiring plug on the original board that is in the way, it...

    MRC Prodigy Express questions

    I'm trying to reprogram a new Blueline engine with a NCE decoder using an MRC Prodigy Express to factory default settings. I found something online that says to press "Program" repeatedly until the display reads "Prog prog track". All I see is "Pro9 Prog". What do I do now?

    My Powder River Logging & Mining RR

    I recently sign up on this web site. I find it to be very informative. Thought I'll try to submit a few shots around my layout. I model in 1:20.3. My Layout is in an 11'x18' room in the lower level of my home.

    Main Line

    In my DCC manual it refers to a "Main Line". I don't know what this is. Is there something special that you have to do to set this up? I have a MRC Prodigy Express system. Can I just hook this up to a section of track, set my engine on it and do the programming? :confused::cool:
