First I need to make a distinction in terminology. "DCC Ready" means that the loco does not have a decoder in it, but installing one is pretty much a plug-and-play operation. "DCC Equipped" means that the loco comes with the decoder installed at the factory. Either way, the first place I would look is modeltrainstuff.com. The Favorite Spot is a good place to look, too, especially for Bachmann products. There are plenty of other excellent online retailers, too.

While there are many cheap engines I think you mean inexpensive engines that run good.
And that can be easily converted to DCC.

I bought a DCC ready locomotive from The Favorite Spot, a seller on Amazon. They have great prices and it came in only two days with out spending extra money on shipping.
