This means no decoder, right? DC operation, right?

Dear 203,
DCC Ready means the loco is wired and ready to ACCEPT a decoder that you supply.
Have fun!

But I can operate it on DC in the meantime?

It should.
All my Bachmann DCC ready came with the DC adapter in place.

Yes, you are correct.

Yes you can, and should, because DC powered lokies don't play well on DCC powered track.

Now the question begs asking. Do you have a DC power pack?
