MDC Critter a "Small Challenge"

MDC's new 'Lil Critter is a DCC-Ready industrial switcher. Although equipped with an NMRA socket, using it out of the box will fry the decoder. The board in the loco presents some problems.

The folks at TCS have offered some help. See this link.

After doing a couple of installs at Tony's on these little gems we have decided the most expedient way for us to do it is to remove the board entirely and hard-wire.

Choose for yourself and have fun!
