MRC 1629 decoder file for Roundhouse 2-6-0 circa 2006
Posted by Birdog on Monday, February 5, 2018 10:45 AM

Wondering if anyone knows where I can get the Decoder Pro decoder file for the MRC 1629 decoder that came in my Roundhouse 2-6-0. I had to wipe my computer and the most current Decoder Pro does not have this decoder listed. (I know rip it out and put in a decent decoder but I don't want the hassle right now)

Thanks Birdog

I've never used Decoder Pro, so I'm just talking out the south end, but can you download an older version of DPro get the data file you need and/or extract the data and paste it into your current data file?

I would recommend asking on the JMRI Yahoo! group.  I'm not a fan of Yahoo! groups, but it's probably the best place to get help on any aspect of JMRI.

Hi Birdog

Not sure if you resolved your problem in the meantime, but the MRC 1629 decoder file is included in JMRI 4.12 which I just downloaded.  Thanks to your post, I finally figured out which MRC Decoder is in that engine factory installed!
