I'd suggest removing the standard board and hard-wiring the decoder in. I did this with a Walthers Dash 8, reused the original lightbulbs (with a 300 Ohm resistor on each to stop them toasting the shell or blowing), worked well and it's now an even better performer than before. If the 44 Tonner's anything like their Doodlebug you're in for a treat - mine performs superbly on DCC, the speed steps are noticable by the change in motor note - rather like throttle notches on the real thing!
