DCC ready means the loco circuit board is set up so as to easily connect a decoder. IN other words, the NMRA standard decoder plug is provided. Just purchase a suitable decoder, plug it into the circuit board & you’re away! Plug & play means virtually DC only – no plug provided, however that doesn’t preclude the loco from future conversion to DCC running. I think all you need to know is purchase “DCC ready” loco’s
Hope this helps
Ian
