Ah, thanks Larry.
Sounds pretty good for the DC folks. (pun intended)

Interesting... What, in your opinion is the best, low-mid ranged steam sound decoder on the market? I'm lookin at anything between the 90-110 dollar area. I'm looking to equip my IHC 4-8-2 with a sound decoder in the near future. Would really appreciate your input.

Oboy, we're in it again, at least from some of the posts I'm reading.
I'm staying out of it, this time--the last time I snapped back at ModelMaker, a contribuitor that I admire very much, and thereby caused a minor conflagration.
ModelMaker--apologies for misreading your post, I got caught up in a snit and couldn't get out of it.
Anyway, still sticking with DC because it works for me.
PS: I have about six BLI DC-DCC steamers I'd like to sell very reasonably. Won't advertise on EBay, since I've found out that there are PayPal hackers out there. Anyone interested, look up my E-mail address on my profile and contact me personally, I'll give you all the info.
Again, ModelMaker, if you read this, my sincere apologies.

Ya I have heard great reviews about the Tsunami, however, I saw that MRC has steam decoders on their website. Anyone have any experience (directly or indirectly) with these sound decoders?
Ghonz,
You'll find that the general consensus here on the MRC decoders is that they are, sadly, not worth considering...

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
Amen on the MRC Decoders. Yes I do own a 4-4-0 RTR with a MRC Decoder.. (A Brilliance series? Humpth) it felt like I needed the electronic equivilant of a sledge to hammer it into compliance and does not do switching very well. Option one whistle. Behind that is 7 different whistles. None very good.
On the other hand I can make the giant QSI 2-10-2 Heavy do the waltz over the worst track with very precise adjustments in DCC.
