making non DCC locomotives DCC ready

Thanks Doneldon!
I am also looking to remove the center attachment post inside the tender to make room for the speaker.
Any advice on how best to remove and then how to configure attachment points to the top and bottom parts for the tender?
thanks
Bill

Bill-

I'd just cut the center post out and then use either L-shaped or square styrene to make sills into which I would put screws
to hold the bottom on. By the way, don't forget to physically seal the back of the space behind your speaker. A baffle like that
will significantly improve your sound quality.

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!
I want to thank everyone with all their help!
I was actually able to install the decoder into my engine!!!!
I really surprised myself; in the fact that the engine actually ran AND the sound and light is working!!!!!!
I have the Bachmann Dynamis DCC system.
Now I a trying to figure out the controls.
I need to know how to assign the correct engine sound scheme from the default(i.e. a steam engine); and then how to select the different sounds (C.V.s).
Thanks!!!!!
Bill
