I have two operating accessories that I built myself, a coal loader with unloader and a pipe loader (next is a pipe unloader ) You can see my plan for the pipe loader here: http://tycoforums.com/tyco/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7021 , and you can see my coal loader here: http://tycoforums.com/tyco/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6847
I want to be able to control them both with the same power source. One problem, though: one motor is 3 volts and one motor is 6 volts. I designed this circuit to control them both. I also wired in 2 flashlight bulbs so I know which accessory the switch is set to. If anyone spots any problems or has any suggestions they would be welcomed. The one thing I am worried about is the wiring of the flashlight bulbs. will all of the electricity just go through the bulbs instead of some of it going through the motor? I just need the DPST switch and then I can test the circuit. Here it is, you may have to look pretty closely to see it, for some reason some of the lines didn't upload correctly. ( I just drew it in paint and didn't bother to make an actual wiring diagram)

| Jacob--make sure you keep all positive leads on one circuit and negative leads on same circuit or you will have a short. Looks like on your diagram you are crossing - and + wires.

Ok- I wasn't sure if I labeled the leads right, guess not. You can see the picture better now too.

Oops-guess you can't see the picture any better. If you click on it you can see it a lot better.
