MRC with MTH | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Hi Folks,

Resently I've purchased a brand new MRC 270 watt transformer. After purchasing this transformer I have read that some MTH Proto 1 and Proto 2 locomotives will not run well and or will not run at all. Is this true???

Is the MRC say "pure power" on it? What is the model number of the MRC? If the transformer has a chopped wave, some of the proto one systems will not like it.

More information, please.

It is the MRC AH601 270 Watt and yes it does say "pure power".

Everything should run fine on the pure power transformer. It puts out a sine wave that should be free from spikes.
