Thanks, gentlemen. Yes, I am puzzled by just three burning out the power supply.  Mind you, I keep buying the power supplies at the junk store (no electronics store here in my one-horse town).  Think I will use a brand new 9 V one next. Ah, but  I did read the instructions.  They make more of a point of not using more than 12V and suggest 9 to 12 for up to 30 Tortoises....leaving the impression 6V not out of the question.  But the proof is in the failures....I think this one failed when I was rapidly throwing them to correct an oversight when the Santa Fe freight was bearing down on them at a good clip.  No, my several dozen snap switches are on two different 12 V supplies with a "Snapper" between.... Thanks for the info about the wiring etc.  Should be no problem now.
