Older Kato DCC Ready?

Posted by scott018 on Sunday, December 18, 2011 10:43 PM

Am looking at 2 N scale locos made in 2001 first issue I think. Seller is saying they are DCC ready. To me that means a drop in decoder. Any opinions out there? They are two SD90/43 mac"s

SD90/SD80's take a replacement board decoder. Very easy installation.

Digitrax, TCS, and MRC make replacement board decoders for those engines.
