Kato GP35 PRR

Saw one for sale on eBay and am interested in buying, but can’t find out if it’s dcc ready. Anyone know if the Kato GP35 PRR #2299 is dcc ready?

No the Kato GP35 is not DCC ready. I purchased a Kato GP35 in Canadian Pacific scheme . I had to hard wire the decoder in. Hard wire? Is that the correct term?

Anyway, it didn’t have any kind of DCC plug in it. Once I installed the decoder, which wasn’t overly difficult, its a great runner.

Install instructions are here:
