Heljan 86

I have a Heljan 86 chassis with a Hornby body on top (not uncommon) but when I fit a decoder into the socket, the body wont sit down properly. All moulding pips and items have been removed from the body, but no success. Is this going to be a hardwire job or are there some decoders with shallow plugs? Thanks

From memory of trying to fit a friend's Heljan 86, it needs fairly slimline decoder. All the "normal" decoders we tried would not let the body sit down properly. I didn't have any Lenz Standard decoders spare at that time, but I suspect that this may be the best decoder to try. Note that I have not tried it, so would be interested if anyone has done so successfully.
