E-Z Command is able to operate a locomotive without a decoder (on ADDRESS 10) by adjusting the DCC signal - it
does not operate DC. Please exercise caution running a locomotive without a decoder. Do not leave stationary. Do not
use locomotives with small motors (eg. small OO or any scale) without decoders, as damage to motors may result.
