DCC ready simply means that it is wired so you can put a decoder in it for use on DCC. It does not (usually) mean that there is a decoder included. So out of the box it should be a "DC-ready" loco! Just put it on the track and away you go...! In most cases, decoder equipped locos can be run on DC layouts, although the performance may not be as good, and you cannot use the "pulse" feature on your power pack (usually used to improve slow-speed running on straight DC locos). That's the way I understand it. You might want to check with your local shop, or at least others here at the forum before you go ahead if you really want to be sure... Andrew
