Thanks

As long as the new decoder is the same size as the original light board.
Many decoder manufacturers make drop in replacements for Atlas / Kato locomotives.
Buy yourself some LED's and resisters for lighting and you are good to go.
As for adding sound, in the locomotives I have converted I just removed one of the weights and installed the speaker enclosure there. Just make sure you leave room for your LED or bulb.
Good Luck
