...a link to the proper sized female connectors; preferably with pigtails but crimp on would be OK as well.

What you are looking for are Faston Connectors.

eBay a decent source for them too. Can get 100 pack for 7-8 bucks.

I use these from my local Ace Hardware store.

What gauge of stranded wire should be used with these female connectors for power drops ?

Bus wire 14 gauge minimum, bigger for larger layouts is better.  For short feeders, 18 gauge is often recommended.

The provided wire is usually sized according to the power output of the wall wart it's connected to.  For accessories, provided wire is sized according to the current each accessory will draw at the rated voltage.

When in doubt go with 18 gauge for most accessories.  Small hobby LEDs can be powered safely with much smaller wire.

Question:  do these female connectors have to  be soldered onto the wire or are they simply crimped onto the wire ?

Thanks in advance !!!

They use a crimp tool as discussed and recommended here: https://ogrforum.com/...-fastrack-connectors
