N scale pacific locomotives

All M/P N steamers run very well in my experience, but adding DCC could be a chore. Would have to go in the tender, which means rejigging the wiring between tender and locomotive. I've not disassembled the loco, so I don't know whether isolating the motor is necessary nor how difficult that would be. They are not advertised as "DCC ready". Perhaps a future run will be.

The MP Nscale steamers are actually pretty easy to convert. In the tender, the wiring is very accessible, but you will need to use a small decoder, such as the TCS Z2. The headlight is not isolated from the frame, so without doing major work, the light will always be on full.

They are decent runners, but I find them kind of weak in the pulling department. If you get the more recent release with traction tires, it should do better. Val
