Title: Looking for a connector
Post by: jtudor on November 17, 2008, 04:09:58 PM
Does anyone know of a source for the connectors used on the EZ Track turnouts?  I am planning to build a custom control panel, and would prefer not to cut off the factory insatlled connectors.

Thanks

Sort of, but not exactly.  That is a bit of overkill for what I want.

I would prefer to have just a short wire with only one connector instead of this one, or just the connector by itself.

What are wiring the connectors to ?  Are you using the Bachmann  Turnout control Swiches to throw the Turnout ? Are you connecting the Turnout wires to a buss ? To the best of my knowledge the connectors are proprietary to Bachmann. Does anyone else on the Forum have any information to add?

Here are a couple of places where you could find connectors.
