You are right in that your older locomotives will need DCC decoders installed. <br /> <br />Here is the good news. Given the time and the patientce a DCC decoder can be wired into any model railroad locomotive. <br /> <br />However given the age and the notorous high current draw that motors of that vintage tend to make,It might be wise to consider remortoring these engines. Northwest shortline makes motors that can be fitted. <br /> <br />I can do decoder installation and remotoring but I am in the middle of a stalled move. So I have no workshop with whcih to conduct these operations. <br /> <br />James
