What needs to be done to a Full DCC engine to run it on a DC track?  Should I be stocking up on DC engines or will there still be DC engines in the future.

Thanks,

To All,

Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Have installed RR-Cirkits Motorman to my layout with the intent of driving turnouts.  Upon connecting the Motorman to the Loconet/SSB network, I get 3 JMRI error messages that suggest a firmware update is necessary.  I downloaded the update and a set of instructions to perform the update from the RR-Cirkits page.

I am helping a friend build a new layout with about 500 linear feet of track.  We are using a Digitrax system and are planning using two DB150s.  My question is when running the main bus cables should half the bus wiring go to just one DB and the other half of the wiring go to the other DB?  That is, do we keep the bus wiring totally separate for the two electrical districts?  If so, will a train seamlessly slip from one district to another?  Thanks for your comments.

I am in N scale and have one of the beautiful Kato 4-8-4 FEF steam engine which I bought in standard DC but later I converted it to DCC by installing a P&P decoder.

I have seen some FEFs in YouTube converted to sound and the ones I liked best are those with LokSound decoders.

I have successfully converted some "no sound-ready” steam engines to sound buy never with a LokSound. I would like now to install one of these in my N scale Kato 4-8-4 but it has been hard to me to determine which item number should be the correct sound decoder.
