 If you want to take advantage of the all wheel pickup on the tender, you will need to wire it up to the loco as the 4-8-4 Northern does not have a drawbar post suitable for the live drawbar that the tender comes with. You will have to create a drawbar for the tender to match up with the loco.

It can be done but it is not a Tab A - Slot B sort of opperation.
