MTH 20-3362-1 VIRGINIAN 2-8-8-8-2 TRIPLEX STEAM LOCOMOTIVE WITH PROTOSOUND 2.0 – PREMIER O SCALE – AS IS. TWO WIRES WITHIN THE TETHER WIRE BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND TENDER HAVE BEEN DAMAGED. THAT ENTIRE TETHER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. APPARENTLY, THAT MTH TETHER PART NUMBER IS: BC-1100027. A NEW RECHARGIBLE BATTERY HAS BEEN INSTALLED. ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS HAVE TESTED TO FUNCTION WELL. THE BOARD TESTS FINE. THIS ENGINE JUST NEEDS A NEW TETHER. IT DOES NOT FUNCTION WELL NOW AS IS WITH THE BAD TETHER. I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING THIS ENGINE AND TENDER UNTIL THE TETHER HAS BEEN REPLACED. THIS ENGINE AND TENDER HAS BEEN CHECKED OUT BY MTH TRAINED UPGRADE TECHNICIAN, GERALD JACKSON, AND ALSO A TCA MEMBER FROM CHATTANOOGA, TN. LET ME KNOW HOW I MAY BE OF ASSISTANCE.
