DCC for N scale RS- units..

[coachC]

Is it impossible to get an RS-1 or 3 with DCC? I noticed atlas doesn't even have them that are DCC ready. Does anybody carry these with DCC installed or at least ones that are DCC ready?
Thanks,
Clint

Good question. I'm looking for one of those myself...

well.......

I have a atlas Classic RS-1 in SP&S black Scheme, and as far as I know, their is no drop in method for the decoder instlation, but IIRC, I think the motor is isolated from the frame by a plastic cradle, But I am not sure, overall I do remember that it will require either removing one of the lightboards to make room for the decoder, or milling out a spot for the decoder.

After looking around on the Net. I see that Kato has new RS-2 units with split frame for "drop in" DCC decoders.
