This sounds like a project of mine too...
So far I have changed a 9V motor only with an addtional output (pictures on
my homepage), but I am working on having an engine for both systems.

Thanks Sonnich, I am not sure I will even try, my alternative plan is to
somehow make current pick-ups that will work on the 9V track and feed the
12V motors through their external connector.

My DCC track voltage is about 11 volts which with the voltage drop in the
decoder still drives the 12V motors (although not at full speed) and is
hardly any overvoltage for the 9V motors.

DCC is fun.

I don't think you will succeed in the DCC project, there is really NO • ROOM
in there, it is 2 big metal blocks with the motor in the middle and a few
wheels.
