All N scale Atlas SD50/60/60M locos are DCC ready.

The required drop-in board depends on whether you are dealing with the original chassis of the pre-2019 releases (non-sound, two motor contacts only), or the new chassis used on the sound-read "Silver" and "Gold" releases from 2019 (two motor contacts + two speaker contacts). The very latest releases now include a light board with an E24 connector to simplify things further.

These are all beautifully described by Spookshow here:

Hope that this helps.
