Thanks Robert. I am working with HO equipment. What if I don't have Atlas's decoder? I'm just looking at buying several engines with no particular brand in mind. Also, I would like to some day pick up a Riverotsi Big boy or challenger with come either DC or DCC ready or equiped.(can't remenmber which one on th ready or equip.) I might as well get the non DC one and I realy don't know how any of this all works. But I figure I would eventually get DCC for my layout but would like to start buying engines as I find them, and I want to buy the right stuff. And I need to know if the DCC engines will still run on DC power until I get DCC? sorry for the long drawn out explanation.........Jamie
