@Norton posted:I believe this connector or one very much like it is what is used here. They were designed for harness to board connections. They were not meant for connections that are subject to flex. There are no locking tabs, rather its just a friction fit. The width of the connector allows more leverage on each end to pull it out.

Pete, I believe your above photo shows the same locomotive receptacle as, or one very similar to, the one on the back of my steamer. That receptacle is where the tether plug from the tender is inserted.
Also, what you say in your above reply sounds correct to me. Arnold
