yep bought the correct piece today and all is good!  Thanks for the help everyone!

I do and I can check that.  I wonder if the guy at the hobby store sold me the wrong product.  I have item no. 44428.  Pack of two.  The terminal outlets are there but I can see no sign of metal terminals inside.  Looking at the Bachmann website that item number doesn't say anything about connecting a power supply.  Item no. 44410 is a single pack and looks the same but the description on the Bachmann website describes connecting a power supply.  I think that might be the problem.

I believe it is connected properly.  It slides right in.  I actually bought a two pack of the rerailers with terminals and they are both on the track.  I tried them both and nothing.  I am not sure how I could connect the wires directly to the rails with the plug still attached.  hmmmm

Hey,  I just bought all new track for an old train.  The track is all Bachmann brand.  I purchased the rerailer with power terminal.  I purchased the 10 foot power cord which had both male and female terminals.  I however do not have a Bachmann brand power supply or one that fits the female end of the power cord.  I have an old Tyco brand power supply that I do know works.  I snipped the female end off the power cord, exposed wire and wrapped them around the terminals on the Tyco power supply.  It does not work.  Any thoughts on this?  If I add a piece of Atlas track with an old switch and connect it to the Tyco power supply everything works fine.

I hope you can help,

Thanks
