Thank you for the clarity , appreciate your time

Thank you for the information, question, can you program the loco on one system and run it on a track with no DCC system hooked up ? Will it still respond as it was set up on the first system?

Great info   thanks

Hi I am very new to DCC is it possible for a DCC locomotive to be set on a track and adjust the throttle on the power pack to say 1/4 and the loco will ring the bell and slowly start out and increase speed as it goes or is there additional equipment required Thanks

Thank you all for the support

Would a DCC loco run correctly on a separate 15' line with a DC auto reverser ? 

Thanks for the clarity , it seems to be making sense now

Good idea, Thanks

The loco was purchased at a hobby store and it was new, thanks for your help thou, appreciate your time

Yes, when received the loco last year for Christmas it was not included and at the time I was not worried about it. Now that I need to change the loc to DC I was hoping  I could buy the connector . I did call Bachmann parts but they transferred me to service and it just went to voice mail

Yes that was my understanding to change any unit from DCC to DC was to purchase a jumper, (this may not be the right terminology ), it appears  I was wrong . Thanks for the assist   

OK thank you as  I appreciate the advice, I was under the impression that with all DCC locomotives if you remove the connector for the chip and insert what I was told was a jumper that it would change the unit from DCC to DC. Thanks again

I can solder although  I do have trouble with fine circuit board soldering
