I believe a question about this part has popped up in the past. Some here might be interested in this part for a DCC bash project.
I do know I have bought the matching connectors with attached wires in the past.

ME TOO......I've purchased 2 of matching connectors with the attached wires. For $15.00 it's worth it for the sockets. I enjoy converting the older especially steam analog loco's to DCC. Bachmann seems the only one that I know of that makes this connection available, though Braodway Limited, I own 3 steamers from them, use the same concept of the sockets attached to the tender. Otherwise the plug and socket for those wires hang between the connections and can be troublesome if the wires aren't sort of just the right length, and it just don't look good either. I thind if carefull enough I can cut the square hole in the tender with a dremel in order to fit the socket and CA it in place, I have to try it, I think it will work. Jim
If your project requires more than 6 wires, SoundTraxx sells a similar harness/socket set that supports 9 wires. It's the same price. I've used it when I've added working marker lights, cab lights, and firebox flicker to locos.

Hey thanks Tom, I tried soundtraxx a while ago looking for these connections, but after your post I did a google search for soundtraxx harness/ socket and found it. I used the wrong wording for my google search before. That's a good one too! bookmarked it! Jim
