I want to drive a low voltage DC motor from 6 seperate switches. I need to have any switch pushed lock out all other switches. I also want to be able to reverse direction of the motor possibly with a seperate switch. i.e. Red switch forward black switch reverse.

Your requirement is not clear, assuming that you have six switches , when one of them is on why do you care about locking the other switches?
If the motor is already running a second switch that turns on will make no difference at all so why do you want to prevent that?.
You mean some king of electronic switch like mosfet right?
And what is voltage/current involved?

Thanks for the reply, I am building a full table lazy susan to eliminate the need to keep passing food around when you have company. It is going to be about 4 ft long and will have 6 switches to allow everyone to reach a switch and bring the food they want around to them. There is always children at the table and I want to avoid having one of them push the reverse switch while the food is moving. I may be getting to carried away but thought I would try and make it full proof. I am using a 6 or 12VDC motor at no more than 2 or 3 amps.
