MRC is the bomb (for DC). Everything else is inferior.

I'm not sure this is going to be much of a contest, MRC is sort of the industry standard. They have been doing it longer than anyone else on the list.

I'm still using MRC powerpacks that I bought over 10 years ago, and they're working as fine as the first day I wired them to the layout, and have outlived same layout.

Take care,

I couldn't vote. My two favorites, GML and Aristocraft, weren't included! [:(]

Guess they're not strictly power packs, just controllers. I guess then, my favorite "pack" would have to be MRC. I've still got my first one I received back in the early 1960's. Only one I've ever owned, except for the N-gauge pair I got from my brother back about 13 years ago during a brief foray into that scale.

Well, I got my first train set back in '58. Athern F7 and cars, MRC pack. They're all still running. Guess that says it all.

For DC, nobody can touch MRC. If you look real close in this pic of my current layout: http://home.bellsouth.net/coDataImages/p/Groups/179/179121/pages/445631/IM000427fw.JPG
you will see an MRC Pack AND the Digitrax Zephyr. I can't live without either one.
