Hello. I know this is very basic stuff but I am having trouble wiring a simple control panel for a common rail layout. I am trying to mimic the funcionality of the Atlas Controller using two power packs and DPDT switches. I've done this in the past without any problem but somehow this time no matter what I try it doesn't work. The problems occur somewhere in the connections between the DPDT direction switches. Any time I try to connect to a common wire I get shorts. I can't figure out what the heck I am doing wrong. Can anyone offer a wiring diagram that shows how to do this simple project? Almost everything I look at shows a common wire running from the power packs, through a DPDT switch that is used as an auxiliary direction switch (just like the Atlas Controller) and then on to the common rail. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank You!
Here you go.

Thank you! Of course no sooner do I ask for help and I get it figured out.
