Swapping Trucks On Old Locomotives

Jim has a question for readers and asks:

“I have an old Tyco analog locomotive that I received for Christmas as a child. It is in excellent shape and I would like to use it on my current layout. My set-up runs on digital power. My question: Can I replace the trucks on the locomotive with new digital ones? If so, can I buy just the trucks as opposed to buying a new locomotive and swapping the trucks?”
