Ed,
 Now you know why they refer to your people as "Frogs", it's not because of 
what type of legs they eat.

Many moons ago, I visited the national RR museum of France and saw a 5-way 
track switch. Never saw so many frogs and guard rails all compactly arranged 
and looking so complicated. It was so difficult to follow the tracks from the 
beginning out to the other end that the museum staff painted the rails in 
various colors. The blue paint was one route, the yellow another route and so 
forth. By following the colors one could figure it all out. 

If Dick Karnes ever wanted to build some trackwork that would win the gold, 
this would be the prototype to replicate.

Cheers...Ed L.
