The smoke capability is on the board, and I'm pretty sure all the FLASH/Sound files support smoke.  So, it's possible, however you'll have to fit the smoke unit in mechanically, and you'll need to deal with the tiny 1mm spacing connectors to get the smoke unit working.

Note that the standard sound/FLASH files support the full sized dual-resistor smoke unit, if you have to use the small single-resistor smoke unit, you'd need a different file, the availability of that capability is somewhat in question.

The standard dual-resistor smoke units for O-gauge diesel and steam are the same with the exception that the "diesel" units have long mounting posts.  Some diesels use the smoke unit with short posts as well.  These are the smoke units that have been used since 2000 for PS/2 and PS/3.

The PS/3 diesel board has one 8-pin connector for track power and motors, and one 30 pin connector for everything else.  The 30 pin connector is a VERY fine pitch 1mm spacing connector, and crimping the pins is a major PITA.  Having done a number of diesel upgrades, I have accumulated a bunch of pre-crimped wires that I use for stuff like this, I had very poor luck crimping the tiny pins for this connector.
