DCC Decoders

[PRRThomas11]

OK, I have a layout that is wired for conventional control. I'm thinking about making an add-on to the layout and hooking it up up DCC. The problem is that ALL of my engines are not DCC compatible. From what I have heard, you can put a decoder in the engine your self. I don't have the slightest idea how to do that. Could you guys give me some info on this, like how to put them in, what kind do I use, or how much do they cost?

Also, is there any books you recommend on DCC?

Thanks in advance
