Just bought a Dapol 86 on special from MRD.  I'm having problems finding a DCC decoder that will fit - the decoder has to be very flat.  I've tried my normal Digitrax and TCS decoders but they're too fat - I don't want to force the socket upwards.  Does anyone know of a 6-pin decoder that fits this locomotive?

Thanks!

don't want to be mister smart guys but if you put it the wrong way around then it won't fit ( and also not work but that's a different story )

And I have a Bachmann chip in both a powered and an unpowered 86  (and these are quite chubby  :) )
