I presume it is an N-scale doodlebug as the H0 ones come with decoders already installed. There is a very good article on installing a decoder in a Bachmann N-scale doodlebug at the link below. The DZ120 decoder they used is obsolete but the Digitrax DZ125 decoder that replaced it is an even better decoder at a better price. At the bottom of the article, there is a link to yet another installation method.

Jim,
That is not entirely accurate. I just bought a HO scale one from an Ebay store, that is not DCC decoder installed. It did have the socket though..... ;D
