MRC is giving model railroaders the opportunity to bring to life dozens of G & O scale locomotives with these new sound decoders. The 1818 Diesel Decoder contains EMD SD45 and MP15 sounds. Unlike others who use computer-generated sounds, this decoder contains MRC’s true, live capture, full fidelity sounds like prime mover diesel rumbles, actually recorded by MRC’s Sound Engineers from the real locomotives. Equipped with MRC’s world-renowned Brilliance sound, and dynamic, super-fidelity 1½-inch 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 functions, capability of this G & O gauge decoder when coupled to the unique & exclusive MRC BlackBox (#0001050 – Sold Separately) control unit.
