Of course it has a DCC plug. Nearly every HO locomotive today (with the exception of standard Life-Like, Walthers and some IHC) comes with a DCC plug. For that kind of money, it'd better have one!

I didn't think the board in the Pioneer model had a plug. If it has, there is no problem.
I haven't had the shell of the model yet so I don't know if there is a socket or not.
Anyone else know before I start to dismantle it ?

All the best,

Kristian.

If you look at the video on model rr'er, the horn is way off. The UP's use Nathan K5LA horns down where I live. I would put a loksound decoder in it.

The LokSound has a 8-pin plug, so just plug it in!!!

Why don't you just get the Explorer Series, which already comes with Sound and DCC.

All the best,
