It apparently charges from the track and stores enough power to move a few feet. Good for locos with only a few pickups! <br /> <br />jaimezepeda - trust me, that loco doesn't need electronic sound, it already makes great steam loco noises "the old fashioned way" from what I've heard. I agree it should be DCC compatible though - I refuse to believe they couldn't have designed it to use DCC functions to control the various valves, etc and they'd sell a lot more of them if it was able to co-exist with other locos. Individual locos from that range are about the same price as BLI steamers, and I'd definitely be looking at buying one if it was possible to fit DCC to them.
