Tender Loco Connection

[waz]

Hi All!
Can someone tell me if the connecting wires between a tender and loco are a standard fitting. If so could I purchase the said part for fitting myself?
Also, what is the part actualy called? and where would I purchase it from. Got an Oxord Rail Dean Goods that stopped dead on the tracks then decided, after a couple of mins, with power still on, to move a couple of feet further. It's not the decoader, I replaced it. I think there is a break in the tender to loco wires inside the insulation. Any help would be helpful. Many thanks.
My Best Regards
BILL.

No standard, even Hornby use at least 2 different wire allocations on their connectors.
If you replace the plug and the socket you can decide for yourself what connections to use.

Hi Roger (JR)
Thanks for the information. I'll take the body off and look at the innards, see if there is anything obvious. It was running round for 15 mins before it stopped. One again, many thanks.
With my Best Regards

There could be a problem causing an overload and the decoder shutting down to protect itself. What decoder is it?
