I have an 0-4-0 Porter that I plan to put a decoder in. I think a standard decoder is too large so I bought a Digitrax DZ125 decoder for it. This decoder is tiny but can still handle the current needed by the 0-4-0. It also has BEMF control which I really like in steam locomotives. The DZ125 has big features in a small package with a small price tag.

Here are two links for adding DCC and sound to a Porter. There are more for just DCC.
