Particularly to the Bach Man but to anyone else that might help.

I purchased each of the Spectrum 4-8-2 Light Mountain and 2-8-0 Consolidated Locomotives shortly after they came out in 2002 or 2003.  I am finally getting around to using them and want to use them on a DCC system.  I believe they are somewhat DCC Ready, though not it the best sense.  I was recently told there should have been some information on converting them to DCC "in the box".  However, I haven't found any, and haven't found anything on line.  Which means I should have tried here first.

Can Bach Man(or someone) provide copies of what will be required to make the conversion? Any additional advice, cautions, or "you don't want to do that"s would also be appreciated since I'm not the first to attend this rodeo!

I'm new to the Bach-Man boards, but I could use some help.  I have an Older F9A (or maybe an F7A) Amtrak loco and am trying to convert it to MT couplers.  MT pack 1115 is for the older style unit with metal draft gear boxes (it fits).  The instructions match my loco, but the new coupler has to be installed from the top of the truck per the MT drawings showing the draft gear box.  I have tried everything I can, but cannot determine how to get the truck, or some portion of it, off of the locomotive. ny help would be appreciated.

As an aside, I don't know where I got the loco, but I have had it for many years.  It kind of matches a description saw on a posting.  It is heavy, runs well, and pulls like a horse - albeit a little noisy.  There are no traction bands on the wheels.  The loco body is not the split body that my ATSF F7 have in them, but is a one piece body, with removable top to get at the gear train.
