I did it tonight and it work fine
they still running with rubber bands,but they are now in DCC
here's how I did
First,I tooked out trucks,to clean the wheels and put brand new rubber bands
Then,I did the same thing than a normal Athearn blue box,add a wire from the front truck to the back truck
Still the same way that any other blue box,insulated the motor ans soldering wires,grey at bottom,orange on top and red wire on positive rail
white wire to light bulds and finally,the black wire directly to the frame,and negative contact fom light buld
successfull testing,only the light buld get burned,so I unplug it and get running again.. and it's work fine
I will add a video soon,to show it working
