Title: Decoders to suit N Scale GE Dash 8-40 CW DCC Ready Locomotives

Hi,
I have several Bachmann Spectrum N Scale Dash 8-40 CW DCC ready locomotives that I would like to fit decoders to.

Can you advise me on the decoders, make/model that will fit this loco?

You help is greatly appreciated.

Nearly all of the current Bachmann locos use a circuit board that requires a "hard wired" decoder. The decoder's wires are soldered to the circuit board after you remove two jumper clips. A typical decoder would be a Digitrax DZ125 two function decoder. They are about the least expensive quality decoder for your purpose.
