I have found that if the box doesn't say "DCC Ready" they're not. I recently bought the SD-50 in the RTR line and the says DCC ready. After I pulled off the shell to install a decoder, I was surprised to find the old Athearn drive with a Genesis circuit board. So without seeing the engine up close, I would guess that it has the standard Athearn drive line with glass added as Brakie said is what you are going to get. I would say $50 is way to much for this set. <br /> <br />Have you looked at the Proto 1000 set? You will get a much better drive line set-up with an easier DCC conversion.
