What is an MRC D-2000 Master twinpack transformer?

[lionel2986]

I am trying to work out a deal with someone and they are offering a MRC D-2000 Master Twinpack transformer. Does anyone know the specs on this, or where I could find a picture of it? I can't find one on ebay. I'm trying to decide if I want it.
Thanks

 I remember some posts about them in the past & They said they were a very good one. Also, they have a full sign wave that we need. Signusoidal.  You should be able to find it on a website , maybe MRC .

Thanks, John

I think the D-2000 is a HO/DC powerpack.

Bob - That's an MRC? Hard to see in the picture. Just see "Imperial". I guess I'll go for it. I just have to pay the extra shipping. Essentially what I am asking is, do you think its worth the cost of shipping? Maybe I can give it to a cousin or friend and get someone new started in this hobby. Can you verify this is an HO transformer?

I found the picture on Ebay.  I don't know about its being MRC; but it was identified as a "D-2000 TWINPAK TRANSFORMER" and for HO.  Here is a link to the auction:

Hi Bob,
The seller got back to me with actual pictures and they match the ones you sent me. I'm going to take it off his hands. He just wants $2 additional for shipping.  Here is the auction I won with the MRC powerpack:

I'm primarily interested in the wide radius 0-27 track and switches but its hard to say no when its $2.

You can use it to power lights and accessories.  The lionel crosssing gates work much better on DC, you lose the AC hum in the down position.

Excellent idea John. I can't believe I didn't think of that. It's so obvious too. Thats why I love these forums.
