So I bought the Baldwin 4-6-0 - Texas & Pacific™ #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
Even if you managed to add smoke, it would have to be connected directly to track power. Smoke units pull too much current to contol using a function output on a decoder.
