Bonjour,
d’après la photo de l’emballage, cela me semble du matériel (trés ?) ancien.
Il y a deux bobines qui fonctionnent en "va et vient" + deux inverseurs. (Il n'y a pas de notice ?). En cherchant sur le net, on trouve "fulgurex slow switch machine". J'en déduis que l'on "pourrait" commander un aiguillage grâce à la tige métallique et que la "croix de malte" doit pouvoir faire un quart de tour en alimentant l'une ou l'autre bobine.
Voila ce que j'ai trouvé (en anglais)... Mieux vaut acheter des moteurs fulgurex (de l'ordre de 15 euros pièces...)

Operating and Installation Instructions for the Fulgurex Slow-Action Switch Machine
1. Specifications and Maintenance
Operating Voltage: 10 to 14 Volt DC
Operating Current: approximately 200 mA when motor is running
Switch Current: 5 A maximum
Lubrication: A little white graphite grease on worm, worm gear, worm gear side faces and screw shaft.
2. Wiring
Electrical control of the Fulgurex switch machine is exceedingly simple. Just wire 10-14 V DC power to the two terminals on the switch machine through a DPDT polarity-reversing switch. When the toggle switch is in one position, the switch machine travels to its limit in that direction. Reversing the toggle switch causes the switch machine to travel to its limit inthe opposite direction.
Four sets of contacts are already installed on the Fulgurex switch machine. The lower contact assembly on each side is used to control the limit of travel in that direction. The upper contact assembly on each side may be used by the customer for normal switching of frogs, etc.
Additional contacts may be purchased separately and stacked on the existing studs for those applications requiring more auxiliary contacts than the two sets provided.
3. Mounting Instructions
We recommend below layout installation. All necessary mounting accessories are supplied with the switch machine.
1. Locate and drill a 1.6mm hole through the roadbed at a distance of 19mm from the throw bar. Use one of the four locations shown (A, B, C or D) according to your preference.
2. Insert the furnished brass tube in the hole, leaving the top of the tube slightly higher (0.4mm) than the top of the ties. It may be necessary to shorten the tube slightly to suit your roadbed/layout thickness.
3. Drop the previously formed hook down the tube, and engage the tang into the hole in the switch point throw arm.
4. Verify that the brass wire pivots freely and the points operate smoothly.
5. By means of spikes or tape lock the switch points and the mid-point of their throw.
6. Manually operate the switch machine motor armature until the operating bar is at the mid-point of its travel.
7. Locate the switch machine on a flat mounting surface under the layout as shown, with the hole in the operating bar about 20mm from the centre of the projecting tube. Note that you may use either end of the operating bar and that you may mount the switch machine at any angle to the track work as long as the operating bar hole to be used remains 20mm from the tube centreline. Fasten with at least two appropriate-sized round head wood screws at opposite corners of the switch machine. Note that small rubber washers or pads may be used between the switch machine and the baseboard to isolate the sound if desired. Be sure to insert directly under screws so that no twist is imparted on the base.
8. With the points and the switch machine at their respective mid-point of travel, bend the operating wire over to 90° at the bottom of the tube. Bend it in a straight line so that it directly intersects the hole in the operating rod. Then clip it off about 4mm past the hole. Using small modeller’s pliers bend a tang on the end of the wire and insert this tang in the hole in the operating rod.
9. This completes the installation. No adjustment is required as the overall operating arm travel is far more than necessary to drive the points from one side to the other. The extra travel of the operating arm will simply flex and/or torque the operating wire and add extra closing tension, or “pre-load”, to the points.
In actual operation, the motor will run a little bit before the points move (unwinding “pre-load” tension). Then, at about the mid-point of its travel, the points will slowly transfer. It will continue to run, applying “pre-load” tension to the points in the opposite position.
10. Install the plastic bubble cover of the packaging as a snap-on dust cover.
4. Other uses
• Operating illuminated switch stands
• Stub Switches
• Building doors, crossing gates, water spouts, etc.
