Has anybody used MRC tech 4 units
If so, are they as good as they say?
Can they be used with 240v household power, which is standard in AUSTRALIA?
If so who would sell to AUSTRALIA?
Sure would appreciate some help please.
God bless, Alan
!. MRC power packs are about the best made for HO. 2. Go to http://www.modelrectifier.com/ and contact them via e-mail about the 240v application. 3. Are you 60 cycle (US is) or 50 cycle (Europe)? The cycle rate can be just as important as the voltage. G’day!![:)]
I am using a tech 4 280 for my N scale layout; I am very pleased with this product and would recommend them for the DC crowd,

I have had MRC units from Day 1, and they are super. My son moved to Australia a year ago and took lots of 110volt stuff with him , he gets these 220 to 110 converters to run stuff like Christmas tree lights and Kitchen Aid stuff they work great. I have emailed with fellow from Ausralia who is a model railroader , might be able to help you get what you need , at least point you in the right direction His email is teditor@bigpond.com
Hey This
I have an MRC Tech 4 Rail power 350 with memory and a walk around throttle (teathered) in my yard area, I have used this for over 2 years now and really enjoy it, I also can with this unit cut the voltage in Half and set it that way it makes for smoother switching in the yard and reset if I need more power for the Mainline engines when they pick up their trains, I am on 110 V here, but I imagine there are converters there that you could use.
Good Luck…

Absolutely! I’ve been using MRC power packs so long I can’t remember when I got my first one.
Yes, they can be used with 240 as long as you use a transformer (assuming that you’ll be using it with a 110v power pack). I’ve used them on 60 and 50 cycle and noticed only a small power drop.
