I have been continuing research into desperately trying to make some sense of the myriads of board wire connectors out there, who uses what, and what is compatible with what. I am kind of seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, so I put together the attached table for quick reference. It’s kind of a work in progress, and there will no doubt be updates along the way as I learn more.

Have a l@@k and see what you think; you might find it useful. And please let me know any glaring errors or omissions that you spot! Note that the crimp tools shown refer to those that I happen to have on hand. There are lots of similar tools out there and YMMV, as they say. Harbor Freight has a handy looking crimper, but I don't know the cat number for it. Most of the crimp sockets used are in the range of 18-28 AWG wire sizes.

Thanks guys; I mostly do this kind of stuff for my own reference, just makes life so much easier. When it's something others might be able to use I post it here. John, I haven't done a major update to the motherboard powerpoint in a while. I have not done much Legacy stuff, so there has been no need yet. I did a small revision a few months back where a new MoBo was added and fluffed up/added a few other details.

If you have a specific TMCC or Legacy MoBo or two that should be added, let me know the Lionel PN, and I will see what I can do. Sometimes the Lionel pictures from the parts listings are so poor quality they just can't be used. That's when I seek out someone who actually has the board so I can get some decent front and back pictures to use.
