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.
