Yes men you are making sense; the coupling is unique to do with having a powered tender. The loco has what looks like a tongue type of hook that is a right angle pointing down. The tender has an arced slot going from one side to the other. The tongue rotates on the back of the loco as it goes round bends and the down part of the tomgue slides fron one side of the slot to the other as it goes around corners. I am not sure if the delay switch mentioned works while it is part of an MTS set up. However by really freeing up the tongue or swinging arm it has helped a lot. I hope Troy is reading this or someone familiar with MTS as I think it may be an MTS problem as well. As standard on MTS, when you first get one of these tenders you must match up the speed of the tender with the speed of the loco by running them separately and they should maintain the distance between them. Which i did do, I am not sure what speed i run them at but they were near perfect. However i now have a policy of running them at speed 8 on MTS, and at speed 8 I have suddenly forund that the tender is catching up to the loco steadily. I think that this being the case the tender may well pu***he Stainz off the track when going down hill on a bend. How does this sound to you guys. Rgds Ian
