[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by rjw138</i> <br /><br />Hey I new at this and what is the difference between analog and digital ready locos??? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Short answer, very little - digital ready usually means that a loco has a socket factory-fitted to make adding a DCC decoder easier, but doesn't have a decoder fitted - analog locos have no decoder fitted and may or may not be easy to convert - most current production models are a fairly simple job. Most locos that are factory fitted with a DCC decoder will still run on standard 12v DC power though, so if you see such a loco but don't have DCC control gear yet it'll run happily enough on your existing power pack for the time being.
