I also have the MRC Prodigy Advance system and wouldn't trade it for anything, I have run 7 separate trains on my layout at one time with no problem, but again you'll need 3 or 4 cabs, and they are not that expensive for the additional cabs. Duey

Has anyone tried an external system with speakers located in buildings around a layout? I'm considering just such a system at the moment, but don't know of a good one. I would like one that has brake squeal, rail squeal, coupling, etc. any recommendations would be appreciated and considered...

Hello all, I am going to invest in a sound system, such as MRC Symphony or? I'm sure there are others available, any one have a particular make they are in love with with? All recommendation's would be appreciated, and I will make a decision based on a majority preference. My local hobby shop...

Thank's Alex Alex, I hope it will hold up for as long as it looks sturdy if that makes any sense, Ha!!! Duane :wave:
