You can convert it to a "remote control" system, either DCS or TMCC using Electric Railroad components. However, a DCS will run close to $200, not including cost of installation, and the TMCC about $130, not including cost of installation (although you can install these yourself if you have a certain level of capability). Add upgraded sound systems, and by the time you're done, you're going to have a lot of money invested in this older engine. A lot of folks would tell you to consider instead purchasing a newer engine with MTH DCS or Lionel TMCC, or better yet Lionel Legacy, already built in.
