Peter,

It should be, as long as you have room to mount it and put the tape on the flywheel.  Note that you will need a 5VDC supply for the Chuff-Generator.

Did you see this thread? Improving the Lionel Legacy 10-Wheeler?   I used the stock chuff switch in this case as it was working, but I made a one-line code change to the Super-Chuffer to allow it to trigger on the opposite side of the switch closure match the sound sync.  Since I had the capability, I also added the Rule-17 LED Lighting.

I did not see that thread until you mentioned it and thanks for doing so! Let me ask you this, dose the chuff generator and super chuffer boards need to the cherry switch to work or no?

If you're using both the Chuff-Generator and Super-Chuffer, you don't need the mechanical chuff switch.  The Chuff-Generator replaces the mechanical chuff switch.

Here's a diagram of the wiring with the Chuff-Generator and Super-Chuffer, it would work the same way with standard TMCC or early Legacy modular boards with the R4LC.  The smoke heater would obviously not be fed from the motherboard as early Legacy uses the smoke voltage regulator, but you still tap off the smoke unit heater voltage for the smoke power input signal to the Super-Chuffer.  Obviously, the ground lights are optional, you can just ignore that part of the schematic.
