This may be a dumb question, but it doesn't hurt to ask. In an operational situation, how does one simulate a move of a loco in need of repairs back to an engine service facility with decoder equipped locos? I know I could do an MU lashup with the simulated lead engine and the simulated dead engine (also powered) in tow, but that would be faking it. I guess the real question is can a powered loco pull an unpowered loco and the rest of the train under DCC? Or does the unpwered loco offer too much resistance due to it's gearing and the motor? Doug
