MRC Prodigy Express and Decoder Question.
Posted by Missouri Pacific BNSF on Saturday, February 16, 2013 12:23 PM

I have the MRC Prodigy Express System and recently just added an MRC decoder to my Gas Turbine.  The decoder was set to 0003 and would run at that address when first placed and programed on the tract.  When I went to change the address I must have messed something up because now the decoder won't recognize any address.  Can any one help me completely reset the decoder on this system and then help to program it with a 2 digit address?  Thanks for any help!

To reset MRC decoders, program CV125 with a value of 1.  Remove the loco from the track for a couple of seconds, and then when you place it back on the track the address should be back to 0003; but do you really have to enter all those zeros for the address?   With an NCE system, just the number 3 is used.  To an NCE throttle, 0003 is a long address.

Same for MRC, you just input 3 and it puts the zeros in.
