<p>If you can live without the joys? of DCC, then you'll find that block control powered by an MRC pack is as close to bullet proof as you can get. Most of you guys will get a laugh out of this, but Im still using some 50's vintage MRC packs that were given to me as a kid as power sources. (I've up dated the controls with momentum throttles). I mention this because besides proving that I'm incredibly cheap, they show the kind of life you can expect to get out of a quality product like MRC. Having owned both the dual pack, and a single pack, I'd go for two separate cabs everytime. MUCH easier for two operators. You might also consider some of the hand held throttles MRC has marketed. On a long cord they allow a degree of walk around control. I've currently got one cab set up with a staionary control, and the other as a handheld, and like the system alot.</p><p>JBB</p>
