Hi Everyone;

I have a Bachmann Thomas KINKADE Christmas Train Set Hawthorne Village.  As we all know this is a DC version.  I would like to convert it into a DCC version. That is change the entire engine out and replace it with a similar engine that is DCC enabled (Sound would be great).  What Bachmann DCC ON30 engine would be the easiest to swap one for one?

Thanks in advance,

Henry

I’m new to model railroading.  I just purchased a MRC PRODIGY ADVANCE 2 "SQUARED" DCC controller.  I was using the E Z Command DCC controller.  I have a number of switches and turnout.  The MRC product allows you to program switches.  Can I use my current switches with this setup in program mode?  Or do I have to use an AC controller and the remote to mechanically switch?
So I guess what I am asking is the Bachemann turnouts and switches DCC friendly?
