Sorry for the newbie question, but I'm converting from old-school 3-rail O-27 to 2-rail N-scale and don't really know anything yet about DCC or 2-rail operations.
I want to run a single old Rapido engine on a simple oval track around the Christmas tree with the wireless E-Z Command Dynamis controller I just bought. All I want for now is speed and reversing control. Is there a way to do this without installing a decoder in the engine? (it has NO room to install a decoder and is definitely not DCC ready)
Do I even need a decoder, and if so can I just attach it to the rails to run a single loco on an oval track?
Any help / hacks would be seriously appreciated. I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'm having a hard time finding relevant posts.
Thanks!
