i’m not sure if i understood your question. The switching can be done in different positions: 1) The locomotive can be faced to one direction or the other. 2) Depending on the position of the switch when the locomotive enters, it can be done in the straight track or curved track. 3) Also, the lever can be on the left or the right side, but this doesn’t matter because it is simetrical.

Having thought about it a bit more I think I understand how it works. The locomotive makes use of the fact that Lego points are sprung and allow travel from the ‘wrong road’ in a trailing direction. Jason has in fact posted a bit about his uncoupler unit recently, but it probably got missed in the save 9V posts. Its here


right!

i forgot to say one thing in my previous post. There is another factor: 4) The yellow lever in the switch can be in to positions - it can have the handle to one side or to the other side...
