The way you decribe dcc and ac is incorrect. Most past and current DCC stations will run on 16 VAC or 18 VDC. The DCC station converts the AC or DC to pulsed DC and the decoders apply a chopped section of this pulse to the motor as pulsed DC as told to it by the signal which is multiplexed on the line with the pulsed DC.
