Yes, you can run ONE non decoder equiped locomotive on EasyDCC. You must operate it from the command station. It will be on address "00" (or 0000 if you prefer, same difference). The walkaround throttles will not acquire this address, hence operation from the command station is the only choice. <br />Since DCC places a square wave on the rails, running non decoder equiped locomotives is NOT A GOOD IDEA regardless of the system. It is rough on the DC motor, makes a lot of noise during operation and does not run smoothly. But, to answer your question, EasyDCC will allow you to do so. Good luck in your quest for the right DCC system for you and your layout! <br /> <br />Ed
