MRC Tech 4 Dual Power?
Posted by JackMiller341 on Saturday, January 26, 2013 11:50 PM

Hey,  so as I continue to plan my layout, I've been researching different controllers. I'm going to have two separate tracks. Not connected at all. If I got the MRC Dual Power, could it be used to control two different tracks, or is it for one track.

And one more thing. If it does work with two different tracks, can it be easily connected to E-Z track?

Thanks!

Question #1:  A Dual Power controller means that it has two throttle controls, so yes, you can run two trains on two different tracks at the same time.

Question #2:  I believe Bachmann EZ-track uses pre-fab wiring with plugs on the ends for electrical connections, so you'll have to cut the plug off one end of the Bachmann wiring to connect it to the MRC power pack.
