Followup question: John and other knowledgeable folk, is there a particular connector type that you would recommend to make a tether detachable?
I have a Lionel Hudson Jr. in which I have installed ERR RailSounds. A tether connects the locomotive to the tender in order to synchronize the chuffing. If I want to disconnect the tether, I have to remove the tender shell. I am thinking about cutting the tether and putting in an external two-pin connector, so that I can disconnect the locomotive from the tender. Should I just use something like a JST PH series board-to-wire connector, and solder the through-hole pins to the tether wires, or is there a good wire-to-wire connector, ideally in black, that you can recommend? Or, is this folly?
