Geez...now he tells me. 
The milling didn't take too much effort, as I didn't need to remove a lot of material. It was the wiring redo. I gotta say, that after doing this a couple of times, I had the connections done in a snap. I'm sure the next one will be a breeze...you see what I did there? I just jinxed myself! I also did seal the loco shell with some black styrene so in effect the entire shell does act like an enclosure as you suggest. Like I said, the sound has greatly improved since I made these changes and I'm now finally satisfied with the install.
The next install will be a sound decoder in the P2K SW900/1200 switcher loco I have. No room inside and a pain in the arse to get sound into apparently. But I'm always up for a challenge.
