If by "DCC ready" you mean that there is an eight-pin socket (with a DC plug in it for DC operation out of the box), then you simply have to remove the DC plug and insert a decoder that has an eight-pin NMRA medium plug. There are no wiring issues to worry about; just program the locomotive address, enter it into your DCC throttle, and start running the locomotive. In my "DCC ready" Train Master I used a $20 NCE D13SRP 1.3 amp (2.0 amp peak) decoder. All decoder manufacturers make a basic, economical decoder, and any of them will work. -- Bill Roberts, San Francisco CA The poll results are in.......
