Can you add sound and smoke to factory Dcc fitted locos?

[Zeno]

I have recently bought a o gauge locomotive that comes Dcc fitted
This might be a newbie question but can i add a smoke unit and sound to that decoder or will i need to buy a totally new decoder? I probably should’ve asked this question before i bought the loco but oh well such is life

You should be able to add sound and the normal way is to replace the motor/function decoder with a sound/motor/function one of suitable size and current capacity for 0 gauge motor.

Smoke unit will depend on the area its to be fitted and whether the loco chimney has a suitably sized hole and is able to have hot smoke oil vapour pass through it without distorting the moulding, assuming its plastic?

[Zeno]

It is plastic however a Seuthe 22E should be fine for the model

That model has a current rating of 120 milliamp, so ensure your decoder of choice has a function output current rating higher than the 22E needs

Not sure what’s decoder it comes with
It’s a Dapol o gauge terrier
Emailed to check what decoder comes included however I’ve heard nothing back which is a real shame

[Zeno]

I mean I will probably end up replacing the decoder as a whole with a zimo MX644D as I’ve seen those in action and heard very good things about them so shouldn’t really be a problem
Just waiting for the loco to arrive and then move on with a plan of action

If you purchased the loco direct from Dapol they would logically fit their own Imperium 21 pin decoder. These are 6 function but limited to 100mAmp per function.....decoder details can be found on their website....HB

Hi
I guess the DCC Fitted non sound Loco will be supplied with Dapol's own brand 21 pin Imperium decoder. (DCC Ready has no decoder just the connection)
