When I revamped my 6-18006, I actually embedded the locomotive connector in the rear apron where it appears on most newer locomotives. Of course, at the time I started that task, I didn't realize there was close to an inch of solid diecast material between the back and the inside! Mr. Dremel and I had a long conversation with that shell to grind out the hole for the connector, that was a significant PITA! I've done a couple since, and I ran the tether under the cab like the old one as that was way too much work to make that hole, even though it looks great when it runs.
