Gene,
You got it.
Just remove the wires from the DC power pack and connect them to the DCC system of your choice.
Take a good look at the NCE PowerCab. It is much easier to operate than Digitrax. Perfect for a layout such as yours, with few limits on future expansion.

Subject: [WiringForDCC] I would like your opinion
Hi,
I currently have an 11' X 5' DC layout with one passing type siding
which is non insulated with two Atlas remote turnout switches and and
no yard so there are no electical blocks. This layout has one crossing
track and several power feeds at various locations around the track.
My question is: can I use, say, a starter DCC system by just unhooking
the bus wires from my current DC powerpack and hooking the wires up to
the DCC system (Booster I presume )? I would just like to control the
speed of two or three trains on this one track. I also guess I would
have to use a programming track to program the decoder in the loco's.
By the way I do know that the loco's on this track would need to have
decoders on board. Currently I am considering the Digitrax Zypher as
the DCC system.
Thanks for any info.
Gene
