Convert 2 Life-Like E9s, Undecorated, to DCC

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

I was recently looking for undecorated locomotives or cars on Ebay and I came across two undecorated Life-Like E9 A units and one unit. I have plans on using them to pull my flagship passenger train and share trackage with my two 2-8-0s, 4-6-0, and 4-8-4 who will all be used as special event as well as passenger train locomotives.

However, I looked on “N-scale Locomotive Encyclopedia” and I found that they are not DCC ready so I’m asking if I could get them DCC equipped and if so, what type of decorder would I need?

Thank you.

These are quite a bit of work, the frame needs to be milled. But it CAN be done
