If you're looking to purchase your engines, maybe GE 70 tonners might fit the bill. Prototype-wise, they're economical and inexpensive. Model railroad-wise, they're good runners and inexpensive. Trainworld is selling brand new 70 tonners lettered for Bethlehem Steel at $50 apiece. The lettering comes off easy enough and you can make decals real cheap on your home printer. These are great running engines and really cute to look at.
I figure that you need 1 loco for the brewery job, 1 loco for the rock train, and 2 locos for the frieght job. I would get an extra 2 so that one would be getting regular maintenance while one stayed on standby. So a total of 6 locomotives could be had for between $325 - $350 while also being equipped for DCC.
