I'm afraid I don't know anybody with a DCC system. I know I'm behind the techno curve, but I wish they at least had an off-on switch for us neanderthals that run DC. Voiding the warranty or not, it looks like it's what I'll have to do because the engine is useless to me otherwise.

Thanks.

I recently got a Bachmann Pacific Locomotive with DCC sound. Lovely loco. As the instructions say, it is primarily intended for DCC operation. I have a small layout with no intention of ever going to DCC. I'd like to know if there is a way to somehow turn off the sound in DC. None of my other HO engines have it, and it's a bit overwhelming. I'm hoping that I won't have to snip the speaker wires, but that's what I will do if need be.

Thanks!
