SoundTraxx makes a light board replacement sound decoder for Atlas units.

Use a 16 X 35 MM speaker and mount over the rear truck.

Should work great.

If it has a light board, it shouldn't be a problem.  Look on the Soundtraxx web site for an AT type. Usually you can replace the original light board with an AT-1000 type sound decoder.

The biggest problem is going to be finding a place for the speaker.  I usually mount my speakers in the cab, but that means I have to remove any details or figures that are in the cab.

The above is my opinion, from an active and experienced Model Railroader in N scale and HO since 1961.

(Modeling Freelance, Eastern US, HO scale, in 1962, with NCE DCC for locomotive control and a stand alone LocoNet for block detection and signals.) http://waynes-trains.com/ at home, and N scale at the Club.
