Where can I buy these wire connectors?

I'd like to source some of these:

Any idea where I can get some? These examples come from the inside of a Bachmann class 66 and used to connect up internal lights.

Ian at Direct Train Spares in Burnley do something very similar, no connection (pun not intended) just a satisfied customer

Those are Dupont connectors. Search on Google.

Thanks very much both.

I've stripped down a few old PCs in the past and found similar connectors there.....used as jumpers and various connections to the motherboard

The black plastic part with two pins is called a PCB header (where PCB = printed circuit board).  They are commonly used in electronic circuits, being simple and effective.  The other part  is a socket.  They are sold in strips of a dozen pins on a 0.1" pitch.  The strips are easy to break into smaller sizes, such as the two-pin plug and socket you have.  They are available from those who sell electronic components, including probably Maplin and eBay.

They come in nickel and gold plated. Go for the latter preferably.

These PCB SIL single in line sockets and connectors are dirt cheap and very useful, I use them a lot

 

TIP - want a connector and plug you cant plug in the wrong way round? Simple, wire up 3 connectors so the centre one is positive and the two outside are negative. wire the 2 outsides together and you have a connector that works every time.
