However would look good billowing smoke? Also if I can add one, will there be room to add a digital decoder? Currently using M track, but have had valuable advice and thinking of going digital. Doesn't seem much room under the cover. Advice please?

I would read up and have a look on line to find out aas much info as yu can before you drill thru the smoke stack. Just my opinion others might say different. Regards Peter The Mad South Aussie

I would suggest that it may be possible but perhaps rather difficult. The decoder is easy to fit in the space intended for the reversing relay.
