If you are going to use one decoder for two locos, you will still have to isolate the motor in the second loco as if it had the decoder onboard. With a little extra work you could make the second loco detachable by using a miniplug on high flex wire. You can set up the plug connection (motor polarization) at each end of the loco so it can run forward or reverse ot the master unit. After all that work you may just realize it would be better to just shell out $30 or so for a second decoder.
