wire conecters ?

Question,  Im putting decoders in an A,B set of MT FT units.  I do need to run a pair of wires between the two units.   Does someone make a very small male/female conecter so I can seperate these two if need be rather then totally hard wire them together ?

Thank you,
KTB

Are you using one decoder for both engines? If you are you'll need to run some wires. The more typical setup would be to have one decoder in each locomotive and assign them the same address.

I'm using two decoders. A unit will have the sound and B unit will have just a none sound since A will have duel diesel sounds. I'm putting the keep alive capacitors in the B unit. These are MT and I'll be milling the frames and need to share space. Speaker is going in A unit.   Yes they will share same address. Reading FT 250. Just need to run wires for the capacitors.

These? https://www.tcsdcc.com/product-page/2-pin-micro-connector-black-and-white-wires

You can also buy just the connectors from Aliexpress for far less, but the shipping takes longer.
