Connect the smoke unit through the Cruise Commander, it has a smoke output. That will also run it at 12 volts, which it'll probably be happier at. It will also allow you to control the smoke from your remote.
Thanks!
I considered that but thought it was for fan driven units to sync it with the chuffing. It it's a constant 12 volts my issue is solved - almost. Now I'll need a 7 wire tether between the tender and the engine. Any idea where I could purchase one?

Don;
Why not get an MTH 10 wire PS-2 tether and socket? Ready made for the purpose.

The smoke output from the Cruise Commander does not chuff, it's just a constant output voltage. There is a chuff switch input to the RailSounds board for the sound, but if you're going to synchronize the chuff with smoke, you have to "roll your own" with the Cruise Commander.
What's the whole tether cost? If it's the right size for MTH stuff, I'd like to get a complete set. 
Yep, need both ends to make it useful! 
The complete engine harness including the 10 pin socket is PN BC-1000003 and costs $15.
It would be a shame to pay that amount and then cut aall or most of the wires off.
Maybe the socket is available separately.

In my case I want to use it for a new installation, so I need both ends.
