Vision Line Challenger 6-11210 Sound tether to tender keeps coming loose

Use needle-point pliers to hold the plug and reach in to plug it.

Thanks John. 👍

This is the connection.

OK, the problem appear to be the drawbar is riding up in the tender slot, not the connector coming loose.

Two things to consider:

• Slightly form the locomotive hook with a bit more than a 90 degree bend so it tends to stay seated.  You might also bend the locomotive drawbar down a bit near the other end to put a little more spring force on the hook connection.
• Wrap a collar of some kind around that little section of the cable right at the connector so it holds the connector in place.

So this locomotive has both an infrared "wireless" tether AND a wired tether from the factory?

Yep, this was a kludge as they put the two RS6 sound cards in the tender and had to get the speaker signal back to the locomotive.
