Decoder install in a Mantua 0-6-0T

[Blind Bruce]

I got my Mantua 0-6-0T and was advised by the dealer to buy a Digitrax DH163D decoder and that it would fit above the motor. The wires from the 9 pin connector were taped to the motor preventing the decoder to move forward over the motor. Removing the tape still leaves no room for this decoder above the motor. Has anybody been successful installing a decoder in this little gem?

David, I need a decoder that will plug into the 9 pin connector.
