I am very interested in purchasing an 0-6-0 as it looks far more like a 1950's locomotive than the 2-6-0. However, if I buy a brand new model in a never-opened box, what is the likelihood that it will run on DC without having to be reprogrammed by someone with DCC capability? Also, does the tender's coal load have to be carved out, or does it come with a drop-in oil bunker?
