Bill, Most DCC systems let you run a non-decoder equipped engine as address 0000. What happens is that the command station changes the pulse width of the positive and negative portions of the DCC signal such that an overall voltage differential is created between one rail and the other. If you don't use addrss 0000, the average voltage of the AC signal is balanced. The differential has essentially the same effect as a DC power pack in controlling track voltage. Regards....

I have been told that you can run 1 loco without a decoder on NCE but I don't know how to do it. In short, if you are going the DCC route just, do it and stop straddling the fence.

Noted something in your post, here it is quoted: > He has yet to equip an engine with the decoders, but is running with the > radio almost daily. So I can run a conventional engine using the NCE DCC? Or, is he using an RTR engine that came equipped with a DCC decoder? So many things to learn. Andre [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
