I've bought a half dozen of the beautiful 'Spectrum' 'Vandy' and 'Hicken' tenders. These will ride behind some of my old engines in the future. My problem is a lack of information on getting the engine 2 and 4 pin plugs that mate with the receptacle harnesses that connect the engine and tender. Does anyone have the 'Mouser', 'Digi-Key', or ??? with part numbers?
I haven't had any luck with talking to the Bachmann parts and service departments.
Any help would be appreciated,
Bob
i have those two paper catalogs. looked about three times. nothing. i used a caliper to get the specs. good luck

Lexon,
my comments exactly!! Plenty of studying and vernier calipers to get exact spacing, and I still struck out!
i have been able to purchase the two connectors that have the wires on them from Bachmann, but not the one mounted in the tender end or locomotive bottom. The 4-4-0 and 4-6-0 have two connectors mounted in the bottom of the loco.
i think the connectors come from china, everything comes from china. if bachmann told us the company, we would probably have to order a large batch. no way bachmann could ever profit from this.
businesses today are for profit. no problem with profit, but they are not model railroader focused.
