The above information is not correct. I have never seen any DC PWM power source cause the type of decoder produced by Bachmann loose its programming.
So long as the max voltage of the supply is less then 24 volts DC the decoder will be fine. If you find the DC pulses confuse the decoder, simply insert a capasitor across the DC outputs.
In general this is not a problem as the decoder is designed to work in DC mode.

Just don't run it on a pwm type controller.
A pwm signal may "confuse" the decoder such that it can lose all programming, and in worst case situations actually damage the decoder.
