If you really want to convert your older engines you can get the boards from Electric RR, which is owned by Lionel. However, the boards are going to cost more than your locomotives are worth. Also, all you would get from them is digital horn, bell, engine sound, and ability to give them an assigned address. I've converted a couple of my postwar favorites but that was for nostalgia's sake. The best bet is as mentioned above: run them in conventional mode using a Powermaster and a Cab-1 or Cab-2 remote controller. That is if you go with the Lionel system. BTW, Atlas, Weaver, and 3rd Rail locomotives can use the Lionel system also. MTH is the odd man out and only works with their own command system.
