Kato GS-4. Is the Freedom Train a later model so DCC friendly?

Just acquired a Freedom Train GS-4 today. I had to fit plastic shims to my other two for safe DCC operation, but I know the later ones are OK. Before I fry a decoder, does anyone know if the Freedom Train ones are the later ones or not?
Cheers, Bob.

Bob:

The Freedom Train GS-4 is from the later runs. No plastic shims are necessary.

Many thanks. I had hoped that was the case.
Cheers, Bob.
