I have a Lionel 8101 Chicago & Alton Hudson Locomotive which uses a "Sound of Steam" connection. However, the cable end is broken (the male end). I was wondering where I can find a replacement that I can repair this train?

I have attached a photo of the Lionel service manual showing the type of connector I need.

Thank you! :)

You are looking for push-on terminals such as these.

You may not get the exact size, so you will need to replace both the male and female plugs.
