Yes, they can be operated in conventional mode. You need to look at the listing and photos of the boxes carefully. Some of the older locos came with DCRU and horn/bell sounds, or Locosounds or one of the ProtoSounds boards. I have units equipped with all three types. I only run conventional and they all run fine. I am not 100% certain, but I think the DCRU and Locosounds units are conventional only. Hopefully someone with more info will chime in here with definitive answers about that. The PS units will run in both modes.
