^Yes they do,  they ar the two knobs on the top. you push them down, insert the bare and of a wire and let go.

Okay, i found a photo of the soundtraxx decoder made specifically for the Connie, in addition to being out of production, the only similarity between the two circuit boards were, the NMRA 8 pin plug, and the inductors, and they are not even in the same place! Luckily, my screen resolution projected the picture to actual size, making comparison that much easier,  and my circuit board is completely different.

^From what you are telling me i am seing NO capacitors, No resisters, and no diodes, Just the inductors, now if it makes a differecne (probably not) it is the Santa Fe #2526 that came with the  Santa Fe Exlorer Set.

Now just to be sure with the back of the tender facing you the to rodlike structures on the upper right of the board with copper wire wrapped around them are the capacitors right? And if they are do i have to connect the opper wire afterwards? Please and Thank You!

I'm getting a tsunami decoder for my spectrum 2-8-0 Connie. Now, i have noticed 2 capacitors near the DCC plug, when installing a tsunami is it necessary or even helpful to cut these capacitors? Please and Thank you!

I don't see a problem either. If i had a complete acela set, (i don't have anything right now) with two powered units and all I'd assign them to the same address. I see it as a good thing for units that will seldom or never be separated.
