Hi,

I wanna buy the HO 2-8-4 berkshire to convert to match my VGN livery. But the snag is I am on DC and that unit is a DCC. I had bad experience of burning decoders on my DCC dd40ax.

Can the Berkshire be converted to DC?

The Bachmann Berkshire has a plug in decoder, simply pull the decoder out and insert the two pins Bachmann provides into the 8 pin socket and your up and running on DC only.

I have one of the Bachmann Berks and it runs fine on both DCC and DC layouts. However, should you want to disable the DCC decoder, that is how it is done.
