no, you do not have to. in dcc track is always hot (19v) the engine gets commands via radio directly from your controller. unless you have large layoutand week controller. dcc is design to eleminate this problems.
Depending on what DCC system that you purchase you can program on the main line. Make sure that you don’t have multiple engines on the track or be careful that you use the correct engine numbers or what ever you use. MRC allows you to program on both the main line and test track.
