Mantua GP 20 with remote........
Posted by SS Express on Monday, December 25, 2017 5:30 PM

I picked up one of these Mantua DC/DCC GP 20's at a local train show a couple weeks ago for my son for Christmas. I wasn't sure what to expect because this was the first time I had seen one of these dual mode units with a remote control. The seller told me he was impressed with them. He had 4 or 5 to choose from for a very reasonable price which kinda threw up a red flag for me but after a bitter discussion with myself and myself, I returned about an hour later and picked one up. This morning my son opened up the wrapping and his face lit up. I read the directions twice to make sure it would function properly on our small 4x4 DC under tree layout. I must say I was very impressed with the performance and sound of this GP20 for 80 bucks!! So far, so good.........

Are you planning on expanding in the future?

I'm beginning to realize that Windows 10 and sound decoders have a lot in common. There are so many things you have to change in order to get them to work the way you want.
