Hello,

will this work....

if you have 2 locos with decoders in them, and match the speed curve to run them together on dcc. and enable the dc function will they still run together on a dc layout.

Probably not because running them on DC bypasses the decoder's speed curve values and all other DCC control, and you're basically running them as if they have no decoder.
