Thanks for the url.  I thought their should be some directions but neither my train set, Bachman Frontier, or the EZ Command had this documentation or anything else that addressed what functions should be available for that loco.

I am a complete neophyte to the hobby and my wife purchased a trainset for Xmas with a DCC on board 2-8-0.  Is there any documentation that tells you what capbilities an engine should have with a factory decoder.
