So I bought the Baldwin 4-6-0 - Texas & Pacificâ„¢ #316. I also purchased a decoder for it. Am I able to add a smoke feature to it or would that not be possible? The decoder I bought it is the ESU 58410 LokSound 5 DCC/MM/SX/M4 "Blank Decoder", 8-pin NEM652 with Speaker 11x15mm ... Thanks in advance

You might be able to add a smoke unit, but i'd highly advise against it. Smoke leaves an oily residue on the track that can interfere with the good electrical contact necessary to run DCC.

I guess people who run smoke units have to clean way more? Im new to HO so forgive me if the question is dumb lol
