Bachmann DCC Equipped Diesel Engines

Thom has a question for readers:

“I have 2 Bachmann DCC equipped diesel engines a GP35 CSK light future and a GP38-2 Dark future. I’d like to add DDC sound to both HO engines, however a Digitrax rep has looked at these and doesn’t believe sound can be added due to the limited area under the shell. Has anyone added sound to these Bachmann engines? Thanks in Advance!”

I traded the two Bachmann engines but I also have 2 TYCO engines. I’ve heard these draw too much current to handle adding a DCC encoder and sound. Anyone have experience with adding DCC and Sound to old TYCO engines?
Thanks!
