k-line/lionel plymouth switcher reverse board can it be replaced with a generic one and have smoke/lights work?

I obtained a low/not run K-line plymouth switcher.

It runs reverse great.

Nuetral from reverse, it creaps and hums. I think this points to the reversing board as a problem.

Forward only 1/3 speed and sluggish

Nuetral from forward. In nuetral, no humming.

All the lights work. Front/rear lights cycle correctly. Smoke unit off/untested. I am leaving it off until the forward/nuetral is resolved. Motor works freely forward/reverse.

I am thinking this is a problem with the reversing board. Do I need the one specifically for the Plymouth? Does it also power the smoke unit/lights. Or can I use a Dallee or similar reverse board?

From now on, engines with electronics will not be purchased by me at York bandit sales unless they can be tested.
