Hi Grumpy/Virginian.
Still pulling my hair out its not the tender trucks,will check what
Virginian Say but all other locos run though alright. why,
This loco run perfect on one circuit will not cross over.
Loco will not run on its own.
There are no wires from the plungers I think power goes though the chassis
Its time to pack it away
Many thanks all again

Hi Virginian and all
The loco set up is exactly as you say i have just cleaned the Plungers
they are tight on the drivers  (no look) should the loco move on its own
the only way I can get the drivers to move as i said before.

No problems with any other lLoco even the latest Spectrums Steam.
they are Great
thanks all Again Raymond..

Hi Modelerbob.
Your way works but it needs to be switched or it shorts out on the two
controllers,its a lot of work for one loco I have more than one crossover,
Ill wait and see if any thing can be done to loco.
Thanks Again Raymondo.

Hi Guilford Guy. Thanks.
I think you are right all i can see are two plungers onto the Drivers
No Wires to motor .
The Power seems to come from the tender through the metal coupling
bar for tender i expect its more pick ups off the engine.

Thanks Again all for all your help Raymond
