I have a Flyonel 809 Northern that I noticed started to have an electrical spark between the engine bar link and the tender. I can not see where the bar could be getting the power from (exposed wire or whatever...) Is this an issue? It is currently not effecting how well the engine runs, but I dont wanna take the chance of something happening and shorting or frying the electronics in the engine.
Pic is attached...Thanks

I'd look for wheels rubbing against the trailing truck inside the sideframes or tender trucks.
