Have i stumped every one or has no one ever had this problem with DCC?

We have a place here in Montreal called Udisco. https://www.udisco.com/hobbies/index.htm Prices might be a bit high as its Canadian but they do have an amazing amount of HO stuff.

Just bought a Limited Edition Proto 2000 series SW8/900 locomotive with factory installed DCC & sound,any one have any comments on this company? I also plan on using it with an older style MRC transformer,am i going to have any problems? as i'm new to this DCC stuff.
