MRC Tech 4 280 Dual Power with 16VA MRCAB116
When it comes to DC power packs, the MRC Tech 4 280 Dual power ranks upon the best. The MRC name is well known for quality and is made in the USA. This will replace any basic power pack that came with your Life-Like starter set or any other train set. With the stock power pack controllers, the trains either will not run or just run fast, there was no middle speed. This high quality controller enables you do use this sweet middle speed. You will notice the night and day difference that a high quality power pack controller can make. It gives you very fine grained control of your trains and even Life-Like engines can be slowed down to a crawl, which says a lot. It also gives you a constant AC power output regardless of what you set your DC throttle to. This is very different from the above mentioned Life-Like power pack which only outputs AC power proportionately to the setting of your DC throttle.
