@bigkid posted:I could be wrong, but as far as I know DCC equipped engines can also run conventional dc control (ie using speed control from a transformer). You wouldn't have the command control or sounds I assume, but you should be able to run those engines in conventional mode if you wanted to.
Gee, I dunno about that. There's been a few times when I've unwittingly purchased DCC-equipped locos, and I had to remove the boards before I could run them analog.
Everything else you said I agree with...😁
I also agree with what Rod posted, regarding older Flyer stuff... 🙂
