I have noticed Ebay advts for the subject Loco.
In the text it says - " Plus, the dual mode decoders work on both DC and DCC layouts automatically, without any internal switching or user modification."
It also says: "Decoder features include:

16-bit sound processor

several versions, each containing a unique suite of sounds, including whistles, bells, chuffs, and much more

complete DCC functions"

Can someone who has one of these or knows them, tell me which DCC functions will work on DC? For instance will the sound work on DC?

Thank you
Tanked
