I'm not positive since I haven't done the conversion, but if you isolate the motor from the frame and/or the pick ups from the frame I believe all of your brass locos can be successfully converted to DCC, and will perhaps run better on DCC as well.
I would think that some simple processes, such as using plastic Kadees or plastic coupler boxes to isolate the couplers from the frame, and wrapping the motor in electrical tape and using silicone instead of metal screws to mount the motor to the frame would be enough to make the locos candidates for hard wired decoders for DCC.
