Bachmann DCC F7 Engine 60135

Larry has a question for others in the hobby and asks:

“Recently I was given an HO DCC F7 engine (Bachmann item # 60135). All of my other engines are DC. Can I run DCC on a layout that is set up for DC? (I was a modeler many years ago. After many moves, two kids and other reasons, I am starting back into the hobby and plan on DC operation for now.)”

The engine should run on DC as well as DCC. Check the information that came with the engine.
If it doesn’t run, a model RR shop should be able to re-program the decoder to run on DC.
