Athearn N scale 2-8-0 DCC?

[NscaleLemubi]

Has anyone here tried or successfully put a DCC decoder into an Athearn N scale 2-8-0 loco? I'm debating whether or not to create my next layout with DCC and this will be a driving factor. Thanks, in advance.

Sorry this is such a late response. I've managed to get DCC Sound into one of these. However after doing so I wouldn't recommend it. For my future 2-8-0's I'm just going to do DCC controllers, and put the sound in the Overland Passanger Car just behind the loco, since that's all they'll ever be pulling on my layout. Anyway, here's some info on how I did it.
