MRC Prodigy-Advance

Thanks!

It is cheaper than I got it at TTE’s. I just bought an extra cab, the 8 amp booster and several extension plates for the Prodigy Advance from them. They had everything I needed except the Y-harness connectors. I really like the Prodigy Advance and it runs all of my loco’s without any problems.

It’s slightly cheaper than the $199.95 intro price that Tony’s Train Exchange is selling it for. I haven’t seen it for any cheaper than the link you gave. But I’d still hunt around for a little bit more to see if you can’t find a slightly better price for it…

Well, I did find it a Model Railway Post Office for $188.50 about 2 months ago and they were willing to order it in for me. I passed. A Month later I went there and asked about the price and they stated that they could order it in. I then asked if they had any experience with the unit and the said NO!

So I went and purchased my Prodigy Advance from Tony’s Train Exchange, and I’m happy I did. Tony has been very helpful in some of the areas that I needed help in, and because of that I have bought other things from his shop.

I am also very happy with the function and use of my Prodigy Advance System.

From everything I’ve read here, I think that for a little less than $20.00 more, Tony’s is the place to buy from. His dedication to the customer is highly regarded. If you figure minimum wage, a couple hours of talking with Tony would more than make up the difference.

the prodigy advance system does seem to be available for even less !

i used froogle.google.com to find the lowest price . great shopping tool
however i have no idea if ehobbyland has them in stock , what they charge for shipping , what they do if you have a question or anything else about the store although reading their history info it seems as if they’d be a decent place to deal with

disclaimer : i am not employed by , related to , or a customer of ehobbyland or any of it’s owners or employers . but i bet i get a nice deal on train stuff if i was [:D]
