I just received a Lionel Union Pacific Lion Chief Plus 0-4-0 A5 Steam Locomotive #6-84968
Here's a picture:
It runs nicely with the Lionel Lion Chief APP and I plan to run it with my Legacy controller after (some day) the Base3 arrives.
I was wondering about the tether and looking at the parts diagram for the tender here:
https://www.lionelsupport.com/...NDER-ONLY-6984968T01
It looks like the tether has 6 wires in the connector that plugs into the locomotive but only 2 wires show coming out of the other end in the photo. I know that the tender adds the power pickups to the locomotive's to help with maintaining power, but is that all? Unlikely since the speaker is in the tender.
Thanks in advance for any replies to help me understand.
