Does anybody have a source for replacement 3 prong plugs that will work with Bachmann HO switches and cotrolers? I have some that need to be replaced. Need both male and female.

Check the Bachmann site. They stock different parts for their products. You can also call Bachmann.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.

Most hobby shops will also have micro plugs that can be used.

I haven't tried fitting one because I don't have any Bachmann track, but what I have seen looks like a R/C servo plug may fit.  Try a local hobby shop that specializes in remote control airplanes and purchase an RC servo extension wire.

Plugs? BAH! LIONS do not use plugs, they use NAILS!

 

Nails are much cheaper, and easier to use.
Just RESPECT your soldering iron...

1) Always LOOK at it before you pick it up.

2) Always ADJUST your eyeglasses BEFORE picking it up.

3) Always pick it up by the plastic handle.

4) Keep your TAIL out of the way and do not try to solder it to the terminal.

(It hurts when you try to solder your tail!)
