Yes, read the current issue of Model Railway Journal where the subject is dealt with at depth.

John Do you sell MRJ? If so can you contact me of list to arrange sending me a copy. Regards Rob

John, You must have a different magazine to mine, MRJ 153 has an excellent 6 page article on making a Lima Western look like a Western, but not a word about DCC.

But fitting DCC in big Lima diesels is easy, there's a ton of room for the decoder so you can use whatever is cheapest and just rewire between pickups and motor so the connections go through the decoder.
