Turnouts, a quick illustration

 Regular readers of the blog, and members of the operating/construction crew know that the standard turnout is built using the Fast Tracks series of tools.

As I built the interlocking at North Acca, I had a chance to take a side by side shot of a number 10 and number 8 turnout, focused in on the frog area specifically.


Number 10 is on the bottom, number 8 on the top.

Note the frog, wing rails and guard rails being significantly longer than the 8, as well as the frog point being prominent.
