This engineering marvel from deep inside the MRC “skunk works” unleashes the sounds of locomotives at the push of a button. Not one or two sounds, or only a few sounds (providing you have an additional accessory from the individual locomotive manufacturer), but all the sounds available. Complex to design, yet so simple to hook-up and operate, this little handheld BlackBox will change DC railroad layouts forever:

• You’ll get just about all of the sound advantages that DCC railroaders have at their fingertips, on your DC system
• Capable of accessing all the sounds your loco has to offer – Diesel or Steam
• Cumbersome direction switch flipping to operate a whistle or horn is now “history”.
• The 12 buttons on the BlackBox will get you the loco’s sound you’re looking for
• Small, fits comfortably in your hand
• Hooks up between your DC power pack and the track
• Some locos have more than 15 sounds and now you can hear any of them at your command

But here’s the best part… MRC’s BlackBox works with Athearn, Atlas, Lifelike, Precision Craft, MTH and others. It’s the only box of its kind in the world of model railroading. One box does it all. The MRC BlackBox.

*Note - Will not work with Broadway Limited "Blue Line" locomotives without adding mobile decoder to locomotive.
