Bachmann N Scale 4-8-2 Mtn Hvy Question
Posted by Seldom Seen on Friday, February 29, 2008 11:40 PM

I'm so new at this DCC thing that the paint hasn't dried behind my ears.  I haven't even connected my NCE Power Cab to a test track yet.  The brand new subject loco instructions are vague concerning whether or not I have to do anything to the DCC equipped engine before setting it on a programming track.  I was under the impression that new locos with DCC innards are set up for DC and require some fussing before they can be used with DCC. 

This is a beautiful locomotive.  I paid more for it than any that came before.  I just don't want to burn out the decoder or some such catastophe.
