Hi,
I have been looking at the guagemaster prodigy advance system for £225. There is a system on ebay called the MRC prodigy advance for £139. They both look identicle, apart from one is creamy grey and one is black.
The MRC is apparently shopped from america and you have to change the plug to make it run on 240v which is no problem, but what I wnated to know is if they are both the same? Is it simply a differnt colour or are they any differnt? is it worth buying the guagemaster for 90ish quid more, or is it easier to buy the MRC and just change the plug?
Also, I notice the guagemaster bits and peices are much more expensive than the hornby stuff. Can i use the hornby decoders and the point decoders/motors with the guagemaster or MRC system? Is it all universal?
Also, how does the DCC system know where the train is on the track? How does it know to stop at stations and when it gets near to sidings and stuff....?
Thnks for any help,
Pete.
