RoyBoy posted:I agree with Bob, and also I think you guys are way overthinking/over-complicating this. A DPDT switch with AC on one set of contacts and DC on the other set will work just fine.
The only caveat is that these miniature switches seem to last for fewer cycles than full size switches. It problem seems to be mechanical with the lever itself.
Just my experience.
I'm having a hard time with this simple solution. How do you wire two different voltage sources to a dpdt switch so you can power up a section of track (ac) and power up a diode (dc) at the same time. A diagram would be great.
