Guys,  Back in July 19, Santa FE Buff asked which decoder to use with the subject loco.  Was it ever answered.  I can't seem to find an answer and I just got mine and  opened the  tender and the plug is different from any I've seen.  Thanks for any help.

If your tender is the same as this one:

Then you need a hard wired decoder such as a Digitrax DZ-125, or similar.  The bottom of the last page shows you which wires to solder where.

Thanks for the info.  I was hoping there was a plug & play decoder.
