Sturgeon-Phish Do just as Jim says. Do not cut corners and use regular wire. The superflex wire is the best to use. If you use a stiffer wire it creates a bind between the tender and loco. To keep things straight, remove a wire solder a new on in then go on to the next. Jim

Jim and Jim,
Thanks for the advice on the jack panels and superflex wires. I will follow your advice.
After reading these posts, I decide to open up the wiring harness and investigate whether I had a broken wire problem. Turns out, I do not have any broken wires.
So, I did some rather thorough bench testing. I will start a new thread to describe the results of this bench test. I get some interesting results, so I not only appreciate all the help so far, but I will be back to you for some additional advice and guidance.
You guys are the best!
