Michael,

Visit Matt's Train Depot for a good write up on how 9v switch points work:

That should answer whatever questions you have about 9v, can't really help
with the 12volt though.

When you create a siding using two switches does the track
not in use become isolated ? this does not work for 12v but I think it
does for 9v because the direction of the switch determines which line
carries the current.
What I want is to have two trains on one track with an isolated part of
the line.
Am I talking rubbish ?
