Title: dcc operation on dc
Post by: wcox4 on December 05, 2011, 09:49:30 PM
I am planning a very simple double oval loop.  I am just building this layout to run trains with my 6 year old daughter.  I am interested in the bachmann GE 44-tonner in U.S. Army colors.  My idea is to run a tourist railroad on an abandoned Army base utilizing Army RR equipment.  I like the 44-tonner but I am wondering if this DCC locomotive will run on a regular EC layout?
I don't want to go DCC on this layout.  I want to keep it very simple.

Thanks

Yes, the Bachmann decoders are dual mode. So the loco can run on either DC or DCC automatically.
