What is the difference between: DCC on board, DCC equipped, & DCC ready ??

Jim Banner

DCC onboard - Bachmann's term for having a decoder already installed.

DCC equipped - general term for having a decoder already installed.

DCC ready - NMRA term meaning the wiring is arranged to make installing a decoder relatively easy.  This may include having an 8 pin NMRA socket or having wiring brought out to solder pads or having the motor and wheels connected by wires that are easy to separate.

Growing older is mandatory but growing up is optional.
