If you check the MTH 2013 HO catalog, only the diesel locomotive are sold as 
"DCC Ready."  The steam locomotives are only available as DCS/DCC or the 
European Motorola standard/DCS.

That said, there are probably many DCC users out there who are perfectly happy 
just setting the loco's address, CV's 3 & 4 and not worried about remapping and 
other nitty-gritty DCC functions.
