I am getting ready to build an engine yard with a transfer table and 8 sidings.  Does anyone have a recommendation for a rotary switch that you have had success with?  There are a lot of choices and price ranges out there.  I plan on running it through DCS based on Barry's article from Run 236.  Thanks for your help.  Rog

I've used Demar a lot over the years and have had good service.  If I had any questions I just sent them an email and always got good advice from them.  For toggle switches their prices can't be beat.  I have used their rotaries as well but I can't verify if it would work for your application but like I said drop them an email and they will let you know if it would work.  Nice folks.  Russ

Hi Rog, if Demar dose not work for you try McMaster-Carr   www.mcmaster.com

 

I used their 2 Amp @ 125V 8 position Rotary SWitch at $12.84 each,(6548K21). It's driving a relay bank but it should be fine if all you are going to use it on are engines at slow speed. I doubt very much if you would ever draw more then an amp in a turn table operation.

 

But they do have larger switches if you feel you need one.

 

Good Luck.
