Conversion To DCC Motor Isolation Mantua steam engines

Bob operates HO scale and asks readers:

“I have 12 old Mantua steam engines that run perfectly. Conversion to DCC means I need to isolate the open frame motor. Can someone say, do I need to isolated the entire motor or just the brushes? Is there a diagram on the isolation of the brushes? Stall AMPS are below 2 running amps 1 to 1.5 amps”
