I also suggest that you not light a match in your basement.

I purchased a set of plugs with the wires about a year ago from Bachmann. They were to replace a damaged set. I could not purchase the matching ones in the 4-4-0 loco.

I suspect the connectors are installed in China so I doubt Bachmann would know the source of connectors. I have the massive Digi Key and Mouser paper catalogs and have spent a lot of time looking for these but have not found them.

I doubt any Bachmann workers in the USA facility in Philadelphia are model railroaders. That is what happens when bean counters buy up small model railroad companies.

There are many Nano connectors available, as noted earlier they tend to be very expensive MIL-SPEC.

These are polarized, available as prewired however the coding follows the EIA/IEC  color convention.

Wire colors for the prewired NEM651 female connector are:
Red, Black, Orange, Gray, Yellow, White.

I just got my connectors from litchfield station. they are the same size as the bachmann plugs but are 6 pin straight. They look like a winer. I'l update when I install them.
