So, through an estate sale, I acquired this MTH Challenger (see Photo). The box it came with had "No Tender" written on the side. There was however, another small box that contained a disassembled N&W Tender which was evidently purchased to be the tender for the Challenger. Several wires with the tender do not appear to have a home. A yellow, blue, green combination of three wires has no plug end nor is there a place for it to plug in. The small double green wires have a plug end but also no place visible for it to plug into. So, here's what I've done besides staring at the components. Challenger on the track: Red cab lite comes on but that is all. Plugged in the tender to the locomotive and it ran well, cycling through forward, neutral and reverse. No sounds. My questions are these: 1) Is there an easy fix with help from you gentlemen? Or, 2) Should I cut bait and sell what I have? I appreciate your thoughts and comments.
