OK, no dice on putting it in series with the motor - the system sees it as a dead short. So no smoke for buddy.
The sound decoder (MRC 1639) is already worth more than the loco he wants it installed in, I don't think he's going to pop for a higher-end decoder just for smoke.
So it's wired for sound, runs fine, sounds much better with a 1" speaker in the tender than the 1/2" POS that came with the decoder...
