Third question: There is a sheet metal tab sticking down from the chassis of the tender, on the right side, just ahead of the rear truck. What is it's purpose?Thanks
Charlie,
The sheet metal tab is the reverse lock out. It will keep the loco in either forward or reverse without going through the reversing cycle when powered down. Set it while in the desired direction and it will always start again in that direction when powered up again.
