Yes. I did it and with a small compromise it works great. The Massoth decoder is in the tender. Loads of room for the speaker. The rear lights are wired to the decoder as usual. The four wire connector has been retained. Two wires share track power so all wheels feed the decoder. two wires supply power to the loco motor (direct from the wiring to the tender motor). I disconnected the loco circuit board from the track pickups and connected them to the motor feed from the decoder. This deals with the 5 volt smoke unit and the 5 V front lights (but only when the loco is moving- which is the compromise). Runs great and I am very happy with it. It must have done 100 hours plus by now.

Alan: Do the tender and the locomotive appear to move in synch?
