As this is the permanent way Q & A section I do have a question.
Can someone please give a description of the way in which the turnouts are measured, in as much as what are the dimensions/differences between A, B, C etc. and the numbering.
I am aware of the numbering side, (the angle used with the crossing V) and have a basic simple understanding of the lettering (the length of the blades?).
The reason I am asking, is, not everyone (me included to a degree) is knowledgeable regarding this subject and it would help us all if there was a list of the basic dimensions of each type of point.
