Compatibility between DC and DCC running.

[Mico11]

I appreciate this subject has been raised previously, but I can't remember the answer, and I am in big potential trouble.

Essentially will a Hornby (2812) loco with China fitted DCC decoderr in the tender run at all on DC track with Gaugemaster Model DF (lovely piece of kit) analague controller.

If not I will be back for more advice please.

Thank you.

Yes. DCC locos run perfectly on DC as long as DC running hasn't been disabled. Usually all decoders have DC running enabled as a default. Just don’t run DC locos on DCC, big trouble.

Yes as long as DC running is enabled in CV29.......just try it, if it works then all is well, if not then you'll need someone with a DCC controller to change the CV setting.......HB

Another £1 earned....see "DCC to Analogue" thread. This question is like buses, nothing for ages then they all come along together.

Thanks to all, I am out of trouble now. Thought I had bought a DCC loco but it was DC after all and the non starting problem was elsewhere, just complicated to find.
