I am installing the ERR Cruise Commander into a Lionel 6-18094 Atlantic that came with TMCC in the engine and RailSounds in the tender. (The owner wants cruise control in place of the factory TMCC.) I had previously installed a reed switch for the chuff on a tender wheel because the owner was not satisfied with the very slow chuff created by the cherry switch actuator in the engine. It is wired to ground and pin 21 of the audio board in the tender. I have the Cruise Commander running quite good but am confused on the wiring of the 4-pin tether to the tender, which I assume supplies the serial data to the RailSounds. Can anyone tell me which wire would be serial data and how to connect it to the newly installed Cruise Commander? (I assume either the blue or yellow wire.) I have attached a couple of pictures of the tether board at the back of the engine and the tender where the tether exits.
