I have a 70's run Rivarossi big boy tender. It's for my Bowser big boy. I'm wondering if the wheels could get power from one side and a good scheme for contacting. I really do not wish to open up the tender.

It should already be set up for that unless a previous owner changed it, grounded right thru the drawbar...

Both the Bowser and the Rivarossi tenders for that model are designed for left side pickup of power.
