I can't guarantee this as my f40 was purchased before DCC was as widespread, i think i bought mine in 2007 or so so i do not think it had DCC. However, a bachmann GP-40 I purchased a few years back had DCC built into the board if i remember correctly so the f40 may be the same. I remember thinking this was a very odd thing but I Believe that was the case.

The B'mann seems to have a schematic for only the older f40PH. It's at:

It appears that the older model, at least, does not have a DCC connector. However,
you should be able to hard wire one without much trouble.
