I'm trying to run four wires from an aristo accessory swtch in a locomotive boiler to a phoenix soundcard in a tender. So I'd need some kind of plug. There are already 2 two-wire plugs running between the engine and tender. So I'd like to find one of those flat connectors, like LGB uses. My LGB Mogul has a ribbon cable cming off the loco that terminates in a flat connector. Hard to describe-I was thinking if I could find an eight pole, flat connector I could even glue it in place to make it look sort of like the floor between the tender and the lco.
Is there a good source for plugs like that? My local radio shack has a male/female make-it-yourself plug that's way too big and of very poor quality
Any ideas?
PS I know I could put the souncard in the loco and then just run two wires for the speaker cable back in the tender. But even then I'd need a source for plugs, and I'd ideally like to turn 3 two wire plugs nto one 6 wire plug
