Looking at the specs for the battery (14.8 volts) and the decoder, you could fit both in a 40-foot S-scale boxcar and run a set of wires to the engine to power the motor. These are designed for garden railroads, but it looks like the technology is already small enough for S. The two wires could be disguised as brake lines. If I only had about $400 to spare right now...
