I've progressed a little further with this, with low current switching through power transistors, and it's a whole lot smaller.

Two ways to do this - mechanical switching as shown, or digital with a microprocessor. Either way I need switches of some kind. The whole thing could be automated, but at this stage, I see no practical advantage.

I notice that the switch voltage determines the load pulled on the 12v circuit. I think this might depend on the transistor properties.
