Problem fitting a decoder

Hi, I've recently bought a Bachmann Class 42XX Prairie which is dcc ready, and a Gaugemaster DCC25 decorder. Having removed the body and fitted the decoder, I'm having major problems getting the body back onto the chassis and get the feeling that the decoder is too big for the space available inside the body..

 

Can anyone offer some advice as to what I'm doing wrong. Many thanks.

A trick I got from the club members is to get a blob of bluetak and put this in the planned position of the decoder. Replace the body on the chassis which will squash it down. Then when you remove the body again you will see how much space you have. If not enough you can either try and modify the chassis or body to create the space you need, or try another position
