Good luck Sam. There is very little room in the HO version, so the N version will be smaller by a factor of 4.
It may be better for him to ask the manufacturer if it could be done OR a number of retailers have been installing DCC units in both new and older locomotives. NSCALE magazine will be a great help to him as they specialize in N gauge products and retailers that do this work.
It would be better to ask the hobby shop if they could install the chip in one of the operators cabins with a plug in connection with leads that would reach to the new chip that is secured in the cabin.
