Robert,

If no one on the forum has an answer, call one of the mail order DCC stores like Loys Toys or Tonys Train Exchange. They sell a lot of decoders. If they don't know the answer, they will work with you to find a decoder that fits. Look at it this way, you will have to make a call to them anyway to buy a decoder.

I converted two Trainline GP9-M units recently and used TCS T-1 decoders. The GP-15 should be close to the same as far as room under the hood. Was not a hard wire up at all. Imagine that any wired decoder will do the job.
