Almost any HO scale decoder will work. If you are just looking for basic DCC then you can use a Bachmann 1 amp decoder with an 8-pin plug wiring harness.

Is this an N scale SD 45 like you posted about yesterday?  If so, the usual H0 decoders will be too large.  The DZ125 by Digitrax would be a good choice.  It is small enough to fit many Z-scale locomotives and powerful enough for most H0 locomotives.  It is a natural for N-scale and is upgradeable to sound by the addition of a Digitrax Z-bug sound decoder.  Best of all, the DZ125 is available from places like Tony's Train Exchange for about $20.  Click on this link for more information:

He didn't specify a scale and usually that means HO, but I guess not.
