I picked up one of these, a LGB 20380 -
I run a mix of track and battery power so I'm a bit of a DCC idiot. The streetcar comes equipped with a MTS chip that will supposedly make the lights do "special" things. I thought it would be fun to use the MTS features if it could be done so without spending lots of dough.
I came across this, the MRC black box - http://www.ares-server.com/Ares/Ares.asp?MerchantID=RET01229&Action=Catalog&Type=Product&ID=83670. It says its rated 1.5 amps which should be plenty for just the trolley and I could hook it up easily when I'm running the trolley.
Do any of you guys have experience with it?
