If you are running DC, you might want to consider the QSI that plugs right into the loco. The sound is excellent, they cost about $137. Aristo sells them as well as the distributor Tonys Trains.

I have some pages on the installation on my site...TRAINS...MOTIVE POWER...ARISTO...MALLET

p.s. Dallee will play the sounds for you over the telephone if you call them.

The Phoenix will be a relatively easy install in the tender, since the motor leads are there as well as pickup wires.

A piece of advice, check out the wiring carefully with a voltmeter/ohmeter, many Aristo tenders are wired differently. You also need to verify the operation of the battery/track switch as to how it is actually wired.

If you run into trouble, drop me an email, I'm more familar than I would like to be with these guys.
