I noticed in the above article there was the shameful hacking of a good LEGO
connector cable. This is needless slaughter!
I’m sure you guys have many 2x2 connectors just waiting to be harvested for a
useful task!
Inside each and every LEGO train controller there is a yellow connector with
pre-tined wire just waiting for you. It has the bonus, as mentioned above, of
being YELLOW and easy to see under a table.
Here’s an example of my Digitrax DCS-50 Zephyr with it’s handy LEGO connectors.
They make setup a snap. I’m trading one of the yellow ones for a black one so
that you can easily tell the main line from the programming track outputs.
I’m sure you guys have stacks of useless controllers sitting in a corner just
begging to be used!
So PLEASE stop the needless slaughter of endangered LEGO wires and open the
hunting season on the bountiful LEGO controllers!
