HO RS-3

I purchase an new-old stock HO RS-3 on eBay but it did not come with operating instructions as to how to switch the locomotive between DC and DCC operation.

From searching the Board I see the included pin needs to be used but need instructions as to where it goes and how to install it.  Are there operating instructions available on-line from Bachmann?  I couldn't find them.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

If you are referring to the dummy plug that converts it to DC only, look for the 8 pin receptacle the decoder is plugged into. Just unplug the decoder and insert the dummy plug and you're set for DC operation.

Does this model have sound in DCC mode?  It moves and has lights but can't get any sound out of it.
Thanks again,

If the box says DCC OnBoard, then it is DCC without sound.
