Is Just Me?

well guys i must be one of the guys that loves the past. brother came over yeasterday and brought me a new loco it was a sd80 mac in norfolk and southern yes it was dcc. my layout is set up for dcc and block dc with a push of a button. i ran it as it was for about an hour and i took it to the bench he looked at me and asked what i was doing i told him it;s going to be a blast from the past. i took out the dcc . and rework it a little and she runs like a dream. i just find that some locos both newer and older run better one way or the other. dcc or dc. it is how the person running the loco wants it to look on their layout. in my case the loco was to jumpy with the dcc couldn't get the it where i liked it on start up it would do a little jump in the pull. with it dc no jump just roll start.

so it all falls down to the person how runs the loco and what they want out of it . some work and look good on dcc some on dc.
