Hi Ray;
Telephone Tony’s or Loy’s for specific advice.
There are many decoders that will fit, depending on the features you desire.
If you are talking about the dummy DCC plug that comes installed on the pigtail, just angle it theu the big hole in the front of the tender. If it is indeed a DCC chip, then you may have to remove the tender shell if it won’t go thru the hole.
Save yourself some grief and remove that stiff sheath off the wires going to the chip socket before you start to suffer derailments from it.
well that sounds simple enough!
