MRC has a new set of products: Lighting Genie, Loco Genie, Command Genie that appear to be the solution that some of us exciting about the LC+ locos have been speculating about.
A set of 2.4Ghz transmitter/receivers coming that control the loco operation with sound included on the receiver. Could be a great way to upgrade my Williams locos to run RC with my Lionchief Plus (and also run with my DCS Remote Commander which is not RC but is command control).
MRC has videos, product pics, and FAQs for each product line on their web site (modelrectifier.com).
Once these products are out, I can upgrade my Williams and other traditional locos that are worth bringing into my command control environment.
And it looks like wireless turnout control will be available as well!
Pricing looks reasonable. And yes, there will be multi-loco remotes. Product line spans multiple scales - so the larger sales volume in the smaller scales will help to keep the product line viable and upgrading.
If all this comes to pass, it looks like we will have a full-featured 2.4Ghz wireless command control option.
