Thank You guys for your advice regarding the MRC Express and the Prp Cab systems.I have dicided to go with the Pro Cab system.It had the features I was looking for and it was within my budget.I got the system and the power supply at Tonys trains for 170.00 dollars(hope this is a good deal)so thanks again...L&NTim

I am not sure what you wanted. A Pro cab is not a complete DCC system. It is just a throttle. If you are looking for a complete DCC system then you should get a Power Cab for around $150. I also see no listing for a Pro Cab Deluxe.

I pray every day I break even, Cause I can really use the money!
I started with nothing and still have most of it left!
Yeah not sure what you bought, Tony has the PowerCab for $155.95, and it comes with a power supply, nothing extra needed.

Sorry I mean the Powerhouse it,s under the cab and controls on Tonys web site.It,s a 124.00 dollars minus the transformer.It,s a high end system.I saw the the one for a 150.00 and it,s a low end unit.The transformer was about 44.00 dollars.
There's power cab which is a good stand alone 2 amp system. Probably what you have.
There's procab which is a controller
And then there's phpro which is a higher end system. I doubt you paid that little for this one.

Yup. Not gonna get far with just a ProCab throttle and a transformer. That "low end" PowerCab system is just as if not more capable than the MRC and can be expanded to the full PoroCab if you want. But a ProCab throttle is NOT a DCC system and will not work without a command station/booster. You cna get the rest of the system as the PH-Box.
