After a google, I see that Tony's has it list for $599, but is selling for $349 --> <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.tonystrains.com/products/mrc_components.htm">http://www.tonystrains.com/products/mrc_components.htm</a><!-- m -->

this is where i originally saw it and was going to get it from, $349 was a good price, i think i saw one for $299 somewhere at a hobby shop online, but i forgot where it was and i lost the link lol Now that i found an excellent used one for $250, im in good shape lol

And just so im understanding this correctly, the MRC Prodigy Wireless (pictured in my last post) is all i need to run all of these modules right?

Cinch-Jones plugs are a standard for some modules, but can be hard to find, and expensive.

I would avoid any sort of common wiring solution, such as plugs or sockets used with household wiring, in acse someone plugs the wrong thing into the wall, and sends 120V instead of 12V to your trains. Eek

Ill have to look up those clinch-jones plugs, but im going to need at least 2 of them for each module right? and thats 68 plugs when im done with all the modules and you mentioned there expensive, that might not be the best way for me to go LOL. I would like something that is a good price, not necessarly the cheapest thing on the market, but something that is reliable and will get the job done, i dont wanna break the bank in buying these things LOL

What you said about avoiding the sockets and plugs that are similar to household plugs is prolly a good idea LOL, that really would suck LOL
