The official word on MRC Black Box and BLI Blueline

[grubbab]

The MRC Black box is a single address DCC system. 

 

It will only run engine #3.

 

The Blueline engines will run with the Black Box,  AS LONG AS THERE IS A DCC DECODER INSTALLED.

 

 

The Black Box can reprogram any engine to #3 by pressing

F, 9, 9.  Unfortunately, this only works with Blueline software Version 7 or later.

 

So, for older Blueline engines as long as there is a decoder installed and the engine is not changed from its default address #3, it will work. 

 

For newer engines as long as there is a decoder installed , if it is programmed to something other than #3, you can hit F,9,9 and reprogram to #3, then cycle the power and it will run.
