Graeme,
First off I would dump the Farish starter set from 20 years ago and not bother trying to chip those old locomotives. Now then when you have a clean slate you need to decide if N-Scale is the right way to go since I assume you are modeling British prototype. You're going to have a hard time with DCC and British N. Can't say it's impossible just hard. Now if you modeled German prototype it would be no problem because there is a lot to choose from. I don't want to discourage you but that's the current state of British N-Scale and DCC.
