G, the tether goes from the engine directly into the tender due to the external drive shaft running the length of both pieces. The drawbar is screwed to both so no external plugs.
PS...You were right about the tether being bad on an engine I previously posted. I did a continuity check and one of the pins would cut in and out when I wiggled the 90 degree plug. Midge said the harnesses are out of stock and no telling when they will come in. Bummer!
Gregg, the engine was on an isolated loop, no other engines on the same loop. As soon as I can get the time, I’m going to try starting it in conventional mode.
