DCC ready

[redmelt]

I see a few of the engines are 'DCC ready'... I am considering using the Aristo, Train Engineer as my method of control... does DCC ready mean this [T E] will just plug n play in engines marked DCC ready?
[I appologise if my questions are very basic, but I want to get this right the first time]

Which one are you thinking about.  The 2-8-0, Mogul, 4-4-0 and a few others say DCC ready but that means screw terminals and a diagram that shows you how to connect a Lenz DCC controller typically in the boiler.

If you have a K27 or a Mallet then they have the plug which a receiver can plug into with some nuances such as lighting.  There are pictures of most of the PNP locos out there on the web.

Here is a link to where you can find an install guide I wrote for the 2-8-0.

Most of the information would apply to any RC system.  Installation is very similar for the 2-6-0 and 4-4-0.  I love all of these and have renewed interest in narrow gauge!
