that's not the bachmann version. i've converted him to DCC and runs well in a digitrax DH123 decoder.

Yeah, I saw that shortly after I posted. I guess that guy has no idea what brand of loco he has.
For the Bachmann, split the chassis and disconnect each motor lead from the frame. Install the decoder according to its instructions. This all assumes you have DCC experience.
I did this with the six wheel Plymouth switcher.
