It is possible to convert the newer Athearn locos to DCC. (By new anything made in thast few years.) If you have a twenty year old loco it is probably more difficult. I have converted a new Athearn loco to DCC. However, it does not run nearly as well as my other DCC locos. While I am sure that others will disagree, based on my personal experience I feel that if you are going the DCC route, make sure that your loco purchases are from the more premium brands. The incremental cost is well worth it.
