Use a DPDT switch to wire a UCS | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

George Retired Msgt USAF 74-94OGR Forum Member

Hi! I'm new here although I've been reading this forum for years. I have a 4X8 layout and want to use a DPDT momentary toggle switch to operate the UCS track. I'm hoping someone can tell me which terminal on the switch should go to which post on the UCS. I know the middle two posts will be for hot and ground but what should the other four post on the switch be connected to, i.e. which post to operate the rails and which post to operate the magnet. I've found two pictures on line ( One was 3PDT switch) but neither are helpful to me. Just looking for a simple explanation. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. George
