Turnout-Frog--the point at which the rails of a turnout actually cross is called the "frog" part. It looks a lot like the legs of a frog.
Dead Frog A model turnout where the crossing vee is moulded of plastic so as to keep the two track circuits through the turnout entirely separate. Diesel Locomotive A locomotive powered by a diesel engine.
Frog The point where the track's rails cross the turnout's rails in a switch.
Gauge Distance between the rails. Prototype in America is 4' 8.5"
Gondola Long, short open topped car for hauling steel and scrap metals.
Frog
The X shaped rail assembly where rails cross in a turnout or crossing.

Frog
The part of a track switch that permits the wheel flanges of cars taking one route to "pass through" the railhead of the other. Switches are numbered according to the angle of their frogs. A No.
Frog
1) The portion of a switch which is grooved for the wheel flanges named for its resemblance to a frog. Frogs guide wheels from one track structure to another.
Frog
The part of a point where the two rails cross, forming a sort of X shape.
Frog number. One-half the cotangent of one-half the frog angle, or the number of units of centerline length in which the spread is one unit. The rate of spread of the gage lines at the frog. The number of units of length for a spread of one unit.
Frog
The portion of a turnout which is grooved for the wheel flanges; so-named for its resemblance to a frog.

Frog
1. A track structure used at the intersection of two running rails to provide support for wheels and passageways for their flanges, thus permitting wheels on either rail to cross to the other..
2. An implement for rerailing car wheels.
1. Bend frog end of the point rail to form the frog wing rail
2. The bend should be so the point rail and the straight frog rail are in a straight line
3. Bend the very end of the wing rail out and file a bevel on the top inside of the rail head ...
Frog The intersection of two rails of a switch. Front End A term used to describe the smokebox end of a steam locomotive, including the exhaust stack, netting, etc.
Bridged or Jumped Frog
An insulated frog in a crossing or turnout with wired or other connections so electrical continuity is maintained along each rail.
Bright Boy
(brand name) an abrasive rubber block used to clean track.
Flair A tapered widening of the flangeway at the end of the guard line of a track structure, as at the end of a guard rail or at the end of a frog or crossing wing rail.
Check Rail : This is the length of rail which holds the inside of the wheel to stop the other wheel from going down the wrong side of the frog on your turnouts.
Spring frog. See Frog, spring.
Spring washer. A washer designed to prevent a nut from loosening under vibration. Spring washers are of two types: helical and elliptical. Also called lock washer and nutlock.
Stock guard.
Camel back Slang: an older rerailing device, also called a rerailing "frog". Used in pairs, one on each side to lift the wheel flanges of a derailed car and allow them to slide back onto the rail.
Laid similar to normal track, a point typically consists of a frog (common crossing), check rails and two switch rails.
Two insulated gaps are cut thru the point rails near the frog. The point rails are at the same potential as their adjacent stock rails. Hence, there is no blue fire as the train rolls thru the turnout.
You do this by simply bending the rail a bit to follow along the frog like a (what I call useless) guard rail. I have never found them to be of any good except to pull the flange on to the frog and pick at it to make it derail.
The frog is insulated so that no power is supplied to the locomotive wheels at that point.
4 turnout, the diverging rails are one unit apart when measured four units past the point of the frog. Thus, for every four foot feet of travel past the frog, the rails are one foot further apart, as long as the track stays straight. A no.

The next circuit uses darlington transistors in the high current portion of the circuit. This would allow low currents in the control panel wiring.

The locomotive looks to be based on a European narrow-gauge type. In scale, it is close to O Gauge.

Continuous city street sounds come from an audio tape that I created for the downtown scene. Additional background sounds are provided by a Green Frog audio tape.
The entire layout has sound now. A very rewarding effort!

However, in reality a turnout is more than just a switch. A turnout generally refers to all the components that move a train from one track to another including: the switch, point rails, closing rails, frog and guard rails.
This prevents (until after the expiration of a pre-determined time interval after the signal displays its most restrictive aspect) the movement of any interlocked or electrically locked switch, moveable point frog, ...
