you might need a bowser mechanism to get this running good. Or you could get one with a decoder installed which WILL run on DC out of the box, Try looking here

Also, I remember that several of my Bachmann DCC equipped steam locomotives came supplied with a "dummy plug". When the DCC 8 pin connection is removed and the dummy plug inserted the locomotive could then be operated DC.

I suspect this would work with the J as most of Bachmann DCC units are similarly engineered. Possibly, someone in the group knows for sure.
