First off [#welcome] Second, Is this the locomotive you have? <a href="https://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/160-50616">https://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/160-50616</a> Next Bachmann has a DCC smoke version, so theoretically it should be possible to install a decoder.  Sound will require more space, but you have that entire tender.  This locomotive will have to be hard wired, it is not DCC ready.  This means that it does not have a quick install plug, so soldering and re-routing wires will be required.   Here is a link to the parts diagram from the Bachmann website: <a href="http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/dwg/dwgs/50440_HO_USRA_0-6-0_w_Short_Tender.pdf">http://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/dwg/dwgs/50440_HO_USRA_0-6-0_w_Short_Tender.pdf</a>  The decoder type will be determined by the stall current draw (amperage) of the motor.
