My layout is quite old and would be nightmare to convert to DCC.  I also have many old steamers that I have converted to Sangami motors before DCC was even thought about.  I haven't found anyone who has figured out that conversion. Some of my steamers are modified Flieschman, Roco and Arnold engines with tender drive. I have 8 of the new Bachmann steamers with DCC on-board and my layout is powered by MRC Tech 4 power packs on block wiring.  The pulse power and the Bachmann decoders are not seeming to get along very well.  Is it possible to remove the DCC decoder and wire the motor directly?  I would appreciate any help on removing the decoders.
