Let's up-grade an older Atlas RS1

That's it folks! I have oodles of these critters and at least a few need to get the DCC / Sound treatment. So how tough will it be to shoehorn DCC lighting and speaker(s) into this tight car body. I'm specifically talking about RS1 locos from the last ten or so years, time wise. They already have Kadee #58 knuckles, and factory wire hand holds, so they're on the way to looking good.....now to the operation and sound !

How to move this to the HO forum??

I installed an older Soundtraxx DSD and speaker in an RS1. The board will replace the stock board, and you can mill/grind down the weight in the long hood to accomodate a speaker. While not pure cake, it's not tough, either.
