So as the subject line says I have a question about the connectors for the HO scale Atlas signals. At the bottom of the signal there is a connector with 4 wires in it which (as I understand from what I read) connects to another cable going to the controller board. And Atlas offers a pigtail to allow a person to connect other manufacturer's signals to the cable going to the controller board. But what about going the other way? Does anyone offer a connector which mates with the Atlas plug and has 4 wires coming off to hook to another system? I plan to use the Atlas signals with a PLC and would prefer to not chop off the connector on all of the signals. I mean, I may want or need to change them in the future so why make it harder on myself? Any help anyone has on this will be greatly appreciated, as I am getting ready to start testing resistors to try and get all 3 colors about the same intensity and finding a usable pigtail would make this job a lot easier!
Good Luck, Morpar
The pics on Atlas are too small to see the connector. Can you post a picture? My guess is they didn't invent their own connector but are using an off the shelf connector.

You could just get th Atlas signal attachment cable and cut the end off of it, but here's another option: http://www.azatrax.com/signal-connector-atlas-models.html
