    It is easy to control more that one servo with a single switch box using a switchbox as shown below along with the servo controller shown after this page. For more detail and info on wiring for one servo go to the info I posted some time back ( HERE ).

    The wiring diagram shows how to connect to a second servo controller that is connected to a second servo. This is handy when it comes to throwing more than one turnout from one switch. Nice for a crossover or maybe a route change through a couple turnouts. The next wiring diagram shows how to add even more servos to those being controlled by a single switch box.

    I'll get the print files up on my thingiverse.com account ( HERE ) for a switch-box like above.

    For a video on testing the switch-box, servo controller and servos click ( HERE ) or on the image above.

    For more on the option to use or not use the slide switch connected to the toggle switch go to the link below or move onto wiring the servo controller. It only takes a couple minutes to do as there is only one wire and one resistor that needs to be soldered. After than just connect the cable from the switch box to the controller and a cable from it to the servo and you are in business. To move onto the servo controller click ( HERE ).
