Will a DCC equiped locomotive run on a non-DCC layout?

Yes, if you set the appropriate value in CV29. One of the bits in there controls whether the decoder recognizes DC power or not. The default for most decoders is to have this bit 'on', so no modification would be required. <br /> <br />However, it's been my experience that a DCC-equipped loco runs slower on straight DC power. You have to crank the throttle up a bit to get the same speed out of the engine. <br />
