Have you tried trains.com, they have all sorts of trains, different scale, and different brand. What's interesting about this is the price, they will have a %off for most of the products.

Thanks Jim for the advice, however i don't think I will be able to handle such a job. I  do have a friend who works at my local hobby store who works with model trains, he may be able to convert the locos for me, besides if I try to install the decoders by my self, I might do more harm to the engine. I don't have much delicate hands, and truthfully Im a little impatient. But first, I will need to buy a DCC train set first. I was thinking of getting the duel Santa fe trainset, it's only $200 plus tax.

I am new to Bachmann trains, and model railroading. I have 3 non DCC locomotives and wondering if it's possible to install a DCC decoder in them. The locomotives that I have are a 0-6-0 Chattanooga locomotive, a UP EMD GP40 diesel, and a USRA 0-6-0 & Vanderbilt tender w/ smoke and lights. I saw the video of the DCC ez comand controller and trains and got hooked, however don't have the money yet to afford it.
