Does anyone know which wires feed into the tender plug from the optical chuff timers. Chuff is going timed the old fashioned way: with reed switches and magnets. I might try to splice into the circuits that run from the timers to the board in the tender that way I won't have to run an extra wire from the loco to the tender. Has anyone tried/considered this?

Well guys, it looks like I opened up a good can of worms here. I figured you would have to take the boiler apart to access the board in there. That shouldn't be to bad given the exploded diagrams they give you with the loco. If this becomes to troublesome, I may just end up installing my own connection between the loco and tender. Good hunting!
