I got a "Wilson" engine this week with an 8-pin jumper plug in the front, like the best DCC-ready engines. The one I had came without a box, probably from a broken-up set. The fellow who posted in 2013 had engines in the usual clamshell package. Is this a stray prototype or are these engines being made this way?

I've seen a report that a Chuggington HO locomotive was DCC REady. True generally?
