Bachman engines have two plugs--a four and two pin
The four goes to the motor and the light --I think
What is the two pin--does it connect the engine drivers to the tender circuits
If so then than the cable can be eliminated by connecting the two pin to the four pin at the engine --correct
I know this would negate DCC and sound but the cable is bugging me more and more
That is correct, but if you eliminate the cables, then you lose tender pickup, if your tender has pickup wheels.
