Hi energize,
Welcome to the forum, if you can tell us the maker of the loco and scale it would help more.

That'll be the Hornby one - for a really straight forward guide to DCC wiring you only have to look as far as the resources on this forum!

If you are going to the trouble of hard-wiring it in I would take the R8215 back and ask them nicely to swap it for an R8249 - same price but much better chip. The early R8215s were not too good, later ones were somewhat better.
If it was a simple plug in install I would give it a go as is and see how it fared.

Just hard wired (soft soldered) the R8215 in a piece of P155 and working fine. 4th one soldered this year.
