Hi. We have just been given a rather large layout. I believe it's all non digital setup. The setup has been stored poorly and the under table wiring is a nightmare (the builder has deceased so he isn't much help). Can a digital decoder (or something) be retrofitted to our existing old locos and a digital setup installed on our track. The track had isolated track sections on buttons, remote switch operated turn outs and much more switches and dials that I have no idea what there for or how they worked, let alone how to repair and reconnect. My son is ill and I want to get it going as quick and easy as I can for him. Lights and sounds are not important, but I would like to run two or three trains at once. Could you advise in non experienced language my best solution.
Thank you.

Ps - we are from Australia. I'm a motor mechanic by trade and my son is a 10 yr old with impending brain surgery after brain bleed causing stroke. I really want to make him smile but don't have a massive budget. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Pls don't forget I'm very new to all this and I have no idea what half of these forum posts are talking about. Lol. I promise to do my best.
