Hi Joey It would help if we know where you are put a bit in your ID box   I think at -4 hours you must be on east coast of Canada?         As to you prob you should be able to buy one  but check loco voltage so that smoke unit is compatable   plus you will need an ON/OFF switch

An Aristo unit might fit. Not too expensive and a good amount of smoke. Will run from track voltage, only 2 wires.

Some pictures of various smoke units here: http://www.elmassian.com/trains-mainmenu-27/dcc-battery-rc-electronics-mainmenu-225/misc-electronics/smoke-units-mainmenu-208
