Wolfgang is the guy. Thanks to him for taking some photos and documenting what most of us would otherwise walk by.
Another detail I have added to my turnouts is fish plates on the side of the rail facing the viewer. I place these on the two point rails where they join the frog, and past the frog, where that would join the rail. My fish plates are from Detail Associates. These are the 6-bolt variety, and I sometimes cut these down to 4-bolt plates. Proto-87 also makes some. It is a really small detail, but I think it does jump out when you see it.
