Gaugemaster are one of Europe’s biggest suppliers of model and hobby products, based near Arundel, West Sussex, UK. As well as our vast shop, we are mail order experts and would be delighted to supply you with all your model and hobby requirements. We are family owned and have been doing it for over 40 years and with fully trained staff, most of whom are modellers themselves, you couldn’t. To that I've hooked up the MRC Prodigy Advance 2, running the two wires out of the main track connector on the unit, to the track. I turn it on, and when I put a train on the track, the train begins to move, lights, sound everything on. I've tried a basic Bachmann train, as well as two MTH trains, running proto sound lights etc.
