Enjoy!

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!
