Huh. So one switch controls both main lines at once.

From the small picture in the box front, yes.

I hope it’s a

Again, from the box pictures, it is not.

because otherwise you can’t have both main lines in

...right.

The geometry is not completely useless, it looks like you set the switches such
that both tracks feed the same destination in a given direction (R or L). But if
you always run on the righthand side, then you’d set the switches to the R exit
(which would be the L entrance in the opposite direction, which by the righthand
running is not typically used). The tran runs through the far point forcing it
open.
Still, without 9v it is of limited use to me. Could be useful for making
compact, unpowered yards to display 9v trains at LTC shows. You could even use
an RC engine to switch cars while the 9v trains run the main lines.
