Yet another Tech 4 question...

[der5997]

I have the MRC Tech 4 Rail Power 350 with Memory. It has a walk around control as an add on. I really like it.
The memory function however is confusing. I can't seem to get the momentum I set to turm off.
BTW, I've extended the walk around by a couple of plug in points around the room, and am planning more. If anyone has had trouble doing this, I can pass on my solution.
Regards.

the 250 came out about ten years ago..it was the model that had a plug in for a walk around throttle..the only time i saw one was a picture of it in MR years ago advertising the unit....I have been searching for the MRC walk around throttle and have yet found one in any of their advertising...that's why I went with the DALLEE Yardmaster throttle...in fact..it just came in yesterday via UPS...it will be awhile but i will eventually get around to installing it on my layout and will let you know how it goes...Chuck ...[:D] P.S.... CMDR. HUH?...you a Naval officer or something?...

I saw this on eBay. I have never seen a tech 4 model 250. When was it made? Is it any good?

A walk around plugs into a 250 but not a 260...another route is to purchase a DALLEE Yardmaster walk around throttle...it is wired to the AC terminals of a power pack, converts the power to DC, and then wires to the track.....an advantage of the Yardmaster is that the teather wire is a bit longer than the MRC version..it runs around $90.00....Chuck[:D]

Model Rectifier's Web site makes no mention of being able to plug anything into a Tech 4. If you check their Web site when you have questions about Model Rectifier products you'll get more accurate answers.

I can tell you that it will NOT connect to the 260. No jack on that one. Dave

I saw here http://www.wholesaletrains.com/Detail.asp?Scale=None&Item=MRCDC&ID=20011563 that this hand held control device plugs into Tech 4 model 250 and 300. Is this a typo or is there a model Tech 4 un released or old? Will it hook up to a 220 or 260?
