MRC Black Box operate DCC Bachmann locos?

[Sierra John]

I have a question for the Bachmann Man and anyone else who can offer and insights. MRC has a new Black Box controller which is wired between the power pack and the layout. The Black Box is intended to control sounds from locos equipped with MRC on board sound modules. It also is suppose to control DCC equipped locos.

Maybe the Bachmann has some information?

Anyone?

Thanks,

John

Dear John,
I don't, but I'll try to find out.
Have fun!

It works on all I have tried EXCEPT the MMI K-27.  BLI and Intermountain HO cab forwards, PCM Geese, Blackstone (Tsunami) K-27.  gj

Thanks for the information. I like the sound features of DCC, but I having spent some time trying to figure out how it works, (including reading the Kalmbach DCC book) I just can't get past programming. Then there is the resistance I have to getting past many years of DC thinking.

At this point, the MRC Black Box and DCC sound locos could be the middle ground.
