but My hobby store just told me it is too small to install the Dcc conversion Kit.
Guess that would mean that an N-scale GE 44 tonner like this one is also too small for DCC http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/products.php?act=viewProd&productId=3453
Below is a link for possible decoder installation in N scale locos.

Nscale.net has discussion complete with pictures on installing DCC in an N scale 0-6-0. Have fun, Mark.
Rich,
The easiest way to install DCC in one of the 0-6-0's is to pick up one of Bachmann's Spectrum tenders. This will give you all wheel pickup on the tender which will improve the performance of the loco greatly and give you a place to install the decoder. You don't need to use the lightboard that they come with but you will need to add a couple wires between the motor and the decoder in the tender.

I know that.
I provided the info for those who want to try an install by themselves.
I run HO scale.
