Thanks guy's. Going to convert the 2-6-2 first. It would be quicker to just buy a DCC equipped one from the onset BUT they are not available in Canadian National road name and having a Southern Pacific or Pennsy loco just would not look right. Now to find somewhere that has 60' Heavyweight coaches in CN in stock as well. 

Ok, this is STRANGE. I pulled the casing off the 0-6-0 and 2-6-2 and there is a small PC board  mounted on top of the metal casting. Power wires to the motor run directly from this pc board to motor terminals. I was expecting the feed wires to come directly from the wheel pick-up points  and not run to this board as they are DC and NOT DCC ready. Would this pc board be an attachment point for a DCC Decoader ? If so I will still have to add pickup trucks to the tender as well as the decoader wiring. Not a big deal if this is the case.

They are not DDC ready but straight DC. There would be room in the tender for the electronics but am wondering how much of a pain it will be to re-wire the motor and lights.

Hi all. I am looking at finally up grading to DDC. As my layout is HO 1940's era it is all steam. My question is, I have a Prairie 2-6-2 item #51524 and a USRA 0-6-0 #50606. Is the conversion worth while on these 2 (less than an hour runtime on each), or should I put them on E-bay and look at DDC equivalents ?

Thanks for your help.
