Finally got a new fuse for the volt ohm meter so was able to get some amperage readings for switches. Thought this might help other new folks with questions.

Switch: Lionel O-22
Constant voltage wire gauge: 16
Switch controller wire gauge: 16
Voltage setting: 15 volts
Amps drawn while not switching: .26 (260 milliamps)
Watts drawn while not switching: 3.9
Amps drawn while switching: .51 (510 milliamps)
Watts drawn while switching: 7.65

Switch: Lionel O-22
Constant voltage wire gauge: 16
Switch controller wire gauge: 18
Voltage setting: 15 volts
Amps drawn while not switching: .18 (180 milliamps)
Watts drawn while not switching: 2.7
