It should also give the design team a chance to see if a mounting plate with two rollers pointing to the rear of the tender is a possible solution, giving the tender three rollers total. It could get power from the current rear roller feed screw.
Both pick up rollers were getting power because I removed them one at a time and the tender worked when placed on track other than a switch. If you look at the picture of the FEF and Challenger tenders I posted earlier you can see the problem of trying to put a 3rd roller on. The simplest solution would have been to have swapped positions of that LCS track sensor and the rear roller as they did on the FEF tender. At this point the easiest solution seems to be to install one of GUNRUNNERJOHN's devices.
