Hi guys, Is the Black 5 '44694' Tender or loco driven?

Hi

Which year of manufacture are we talking about?  if its the current one then its almost certainly loco drive.

Don't think they use tender drives any more. Even the Railroad version is loco drive.

By the way why are these Black 5 questions in the DCC section?  😀

It's the current model R3323.........Indiana quoted the number in his other post.............the picture on the product page shows the wiring beneath the drawbar connecting to the tender which would indicate that the decoder socket is in the tender and not the motor...HB

WTD, they are in here because General is full of DCC questions.

I wouldn't rely on catelog photos. The one of Adderley Hall has water scoops but the two I bought did not. Also if you look closey at the railroad County 4-4-0 you will see gears between the tender wheels implying that it is tender driven but that is not the case,

Yes fishy but two wrongs don't make a right. 

 

And  the Black 5 in question is loco drive because that model has been loco drive for years.
