Sound decoder in Trix 0-6-0 ?

Has anyone tried putting a sound decoder in the old Trix 0-6-0 ? It has the slop back tender and is a close rep of the PRR B6 but needs some work.

Thank you,

All I'm gonna say on this is that I admire your ambition, but the Trix 0-6-0 needs a LOT of work to be a serious contender on today's N Scale rails.  It needs smaller wheel flanges, a better motor, and above all, all-wheel tender pickup.  You have seen the reworks of that engine by me and other people on this forum, I'm sure.  So you know it can be done.  But putting a decoder in there is the least of the complications.
