One side of you yearns
for a DCC system
with an abundance of
sophisticated, high tech
features.
DCC
ON
YOUR
MIND
?
The
other side fantasizes
about cutting-edge DCC,
so smartly engineered
it’s user-friendly,
effortless to operate.
SOPHISTICATED FEATURES MAKE IT FUN,
SMARTER ENGINEERING MAKES IT EASY.
Prodigy the Smart Choice
For all their unique features, MRC Prodigy DCC systems
have been designed with engineering so sophisticated
it allows us to put the instructions on the back of the
handheld. Nothing could be more user-friendly… yet we
didn’t sacrifice one advanced concept.
For all its ease and intuitive
operation, Prodigy has
all the performance
features you could
ask for…and then
some. Here are just
a few:
•
Program an address,
long or short, thru a
simple 2-step process,
not the usual 3, 4 or 5.
Go from a long address to
a short address in just a
few steps
•
A 25 loco recall stack per
handheld
•
All Prodigy systems include a power supply.
Not everyone gives you that.
•
A wireless system that delivers up to 100 ft range
without repeaters
•
All Prodigy systems are
compatible with our
groundbreaking Wi-Fi
technology. It allows
you to run from
your smartphone…
no computer, no JMRI
software, no limited
Bluetooth distance.
Instead, enjoy real Wi-
Fi range. And you can
invite up to eight friends to
run simultaneously on their
smartphones off a single
Wi-Fi Module
