It was a trick question.  None of them are towns.

Eyebrow is a village in Saskatchewan, population 135

Elbow is a village in Saskatchewan, population 294

Moose Jaw is a city in Saskatchewan, population 132,000

Saskatoon is the largest city in Saskatchewan, population 223,000

So now you know.

I bought a train set that is a dc operation.  If I have a dcc equipped engine, what do I need to do to convert it to dc so I can run it.

If it is Bachmann, or any NMRA raed brand you shouldent have to mdo anything. just run it on DC.

If I am interpreting correctly what I think you are trying to say, that would be true of Bachmann locomotives if the CVs were still set to their factory values.  However, sbinning does not tell us either the brand or how he acquired his locomotive so it is quite possible that CV29 has been programmed or reprogrammed to turn power source conversion off.  There is no NMRA requirement that power source conversion be turned on or even implemented in the decoder.  See the following link, particularly the table showing values for CV29, about half way down the page:

Also there are decoders that are single mode decoders, so if he bought his locomotive used, it is possible to have a single mode decoder, but not likely. I have seen a few single mode sound decoders around, but don't really see any single mode decoders from back in the early to mid 90's around much any more.
