CH:
As far as I know, LionChief is only available pre-installed in some starter sets. The only thing that is available seperately are the additional remotes.

Transplanting a LionChief board from one loco to another should be only a little more involved than installing an electronic reverse board. It's basically just a radio receiver+speed controller, probably two wires in from the pickup rollers/wheels, two wires out to the motor, and perhaps two to a speaker and/or smoke unit.
