Are you looking to do just an On/Off?  If so, reason for using SPDT switch?

because i have one sitting here

I am installing a switch for a heater element on a DC (analog) locomotive.
What is the common post used for with this type of switch?

I am assuming i can just solder to pin 1 and 3 and be done.  Please let me know

I have had this train for a couple weeks and the smoke stack is melting.  We always use fluid when running this train!  What the heck?

Hello, i just acquired a New, in the box Jupiter 4-4-0 Locomotive.
Could anyone tell me what I should do before firing her up?  She is brand new, never driven, old stock

Thanks

These are the power packs I use for around the Christmas tree.
One round track set up and another Oval set up, neither are connected to each other.
One is a smoker other is a diesel Gauge HO
