    I have the opportunity to purchase a KATO RS-2 - Canadian Pacific. I believe it was manufactured in 1999. Are these DCC ready (i.e. just need the replacement fit in decoder/no soldering)?

    I have a couple of Milw. RSC2s from Kato, which is the same chassis with 6 wheel trucks vs. 4 (the trucks are interchangable by the way). Mine were DCC ready.........the board is drop in (no disassembly required), it's just a little tricky to get both motor tabs under the power strips on the board at the same time.........but no soldering. Not sure if there was an older version or not.

    Mine is an older version and it's also DCC ready. It also is an amazing runner.
