I think MTH has already crossed the DCC road. I believe they have a switch on their HO engines that allows selection of DC (direct current), DCC or their DCS system so it appears it would be easier for them to incorporate into DCC for 3 rail.

One has to wait and see how the 3 rail matures. It took a long time for HO to get to where it is, today. Heck, 15 years ago, who would have thought that 3rd rail engines would be super detailed and scale lengths and be in brass (no way)!

HO has gotten to the point where a diesel has specific details for each railroad it is painted for. That's a lot of research and work for manufacturers. In HO, it used to be 'one size fits all', ie, the proverbial southern pacific caboose was painted many road colors.
