3RD RAIL CB&Q O5b

Hi, Guys.   Well, I picked up this used engine and it runs well but a couple of things are bugging me.

There is a slide switch below the cab marked as M/L and it's beyond me what that's supposed to do.  The manual wasn't in the box and I am flying blind here. This thing has TMCC and it works perfectly from all I can tell.

Another thing is the mars light/signal light.  The white one strobes when the engine is in forward regardless if the engine is moving or not.   The red one flickers only when the engine is moving in reverse and becomes more intense the faster the engine goes.  That sure doesn't seem right.  Got me why it's doing that.

Another issue is that the tether has seen better days and I am replacing the molex plug and the pins because they had been repaired previously and not very professionally.  

There is a switch in the tender for "cruise" which has had the wires snipped off and removed leaving me wondering WTH?  There are 2 wires chopped off at the Molex plug (tether) and I haven't the foggiest what they were for.

Any help here will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Phil
