There are many dealers that sell locomotives. At the present time, the majority of locomotives do not come with DCC controllers. But even if they did, any DCC controller equipped locomotive will operate on a standard DC layout without problems. Just understand that while under DC control, you will not be able to operate any of the DCC specific functions (controlling lights, blowing whistle, ringing bell, etc). The exception to this would be the Broadway Limited Imports products, which will allow some of these functions to DC users. <br /> <br />There are also a number of "low cost" entry level DCC systems available if you should decide to go that route. Read up on DCC first before you jump in. <br /> <br />Dale B
