Okay, Now that I have had my "which-to-buy" question answered, I have another:
As I mentioned before, I have an MRC Tech 3 Model 9000 DC powerpack that I love and want to keep using. I will be upgrading my locomotives to DCC only to be compatible if I happen to want to run on a friend's layout or a club layout that has DCC.
The qustion is, How well do DCC decoders run on straight DC? Do lights and things still work? I have next to no knowledge of DCC beyond how it works and why, including what it is like to actually run DCC.
Thanks again
