Remember that the electronics configuration in this loco (and its twin, the 6-52197) is unique.
The TMCC upgrade portion is straightforward -- remove the modular 104E reverse unit and install an R2LC.
But the sounds weren't designed to be upgradeable, with the one-piece SignalSounds board in there now. Adding RailSounds can certainly be done (RailSounds 2.5 system or a new motherboard and modular RS3/RS4 boards) but it's more involved than simply adding the two boards from the upgrade kit.
