Replace the PC board with the decoder PC board.

If the loco has LED's, use a 1k resistor for each LED.

You might have to mill the frame a little.

Search the General and HO Bachmann forums for gp38-2 sound. This has been asked before.
I am assuming you have soldering and decoder install experience. This will not be plug and play.

Ok, here are a bunch of links in the below link. You might save this link to Favorites or look though the list and save the ones you like. Your choice.
You can download and save the videos if you have never done that before.
I download tons of stuff from You Tube,  especially the music videos and convert the music to MP3 format.
