This is take 2. A 12v rail with; power ON LED running at 10mw, next a switchable LED light source. The resistors are there to simulate the maximum rated load of equipment - total is well within the PSU rating.

The program Every Circuit introduces a fixed resistance value for switches and I have placed them to, ground the circuit ON - is this OK? Any combination of switch on/off has no effect on rail voltage or individual load resistance, which is what I was attempting to achieve - not sure what I was doing before, but this configuration is stable.

The rail is also scalable/expandable.

Critique - refinements - try again?

have thrown a cat amongst the pigeons for you and given you lots to think about but I'm happy to supply further info as I have recently built my own power distribution box mounted on my scope dovetail. Ok mine has a USB hub and +5V and +8V PSU in it but the principle is the same.
Nice work Brendan. I like the way you have configured things there. I was going down the DIY PCB path, but have decided to stick to audio jacks, which will work with the type of case you have used.
