MRC powerpack holder
Posted by MacTrom on Wednesday, April 29, 2020 9:08 PM

Figured this was the most appropriate forum. Let me know if not. 

I have seen a wire cradle for a MRC power pack and wonder if anyone might know where this might be available? I ch3ck the typical sites but didn't find anything. It looked like it would be handy for holding a Tech II pack and hang on the edge of a layout.

A few months ago, Ken Patterson had a sponser that made metal holders for DCC controllers.  He hasn't mentioned them lately, but if you look at his videos from a while ago, he mentions his sponsors in the beginning, so you wouldn't have to watch the whole video.

I have a bracket for my DCC throttle. What I'm looking for is for a DC pack. Thanks for the tip, though.

My point was maybe they could fabricate what you want. A sidecar builder (few and far between) could fabricate that, in fact, you only need a right angle or maybe something more that an right angle and a few pieces of plexiglas could do that.

 Check Kevin's (SeeYou190) posts, he built a holder for his Troller pack, just adjust the dimensions to fit the MRC.
