Hi GUYZ,
I have a Weaver PRR 0-8-0 in TMCC. I have a loose connection in the tether and makes the engine stop and go erratically, and also it cut out on the sound, no sound at all. I have changed the boards both power and RC and sound boards to no avail. I also would like to change the tether because of the size of the prongs, male and female together are about 1.5 inches long. This length makes it hard to run around layout. Any ideas. Thanks in advance.

You can use many different solutions. For my upgrades, I frequently use the MTH tether components, they work well and have 10 wires.
Hi JOHN,
This might be a dumb question but if I use the MTH tether, do I just cut the Weaver tether, and then splice what I would need, the six to it?
I make my own tethers from super flex wire and Deans plugs.
I install the locomotive male connector on the locomotive solidly mounted, and then use the tether from the tender. The installation looks just like the standard MTH installation except that for many of them I use the straight tether so as not to have the big loop of wire between the locomotive and tender.
Thank you JOHN. I will do that. Thank you too ROYBOY for the suggestion.
