A fellow in my club had  Tony's Train Exchange install a Micro Tsunami in his.  I'll second the recommendation of a Tsunami.

Yes, it can.  I have one.  I first had a motor decoder only installed in the boiler.  When I saved up enough money, I had my hobby shop (Enginehouse Services in Green Bay) install a sound decoder in the tender.  At the time, the only sound decoder to fit was a Lok Sound.  While it is okay, I've head that Tsunami's are better.  I believe they now have one that will fit inside this loco's tender.

Contact Litchfield Station (http://www.litchfieldstation.com/DCC-University/index.htm).  If it can be done they can do it.  Good people, service and prices.  And I'm just a satisfied customer.

Good luck!
