Hello and Welcome to the Forum!

Use the KISS method and just switch the wires over when you want to use the other transformer.
Or
since the transformers will not be powered up at the same time, you should be able to connect
 to the same point on the buss your other transformer is connected to.

I am hoping one of the "experts" will speak up now and tell you how wire your system "correctly".

Happy Rails.
Dave
