I have a similar model ..an atlas MP15DC..I put an NCE D13SR decoder in it and it barely fit.... Even though it had an 8 pin plug, I had to take out the male pin and solder each decoder wire to the female plug above the motor for it to fit there and then pointed the decoder and the wiring harness towards the front head light... it barely made it, but it did. At first i tried to put it in the cab but no luck... it just wouldn't fit there at all. ..chuck
