The earlier version of the 0-6-0 had smoke, but no DCC decoder.

Decoder function outputs do not supply enough current to operate a smoke unit. You sould have to use the function output to trigger a relay that supplied track voltage/current directly to the smoke unit heater. And there is not really room for that in most HO locos.
