From my ScaleFour book:
Switch Rails is the bit you are looking for (all are UK terms)
Closure rails are the bits leading into the frog, the straight rail out of the

from the other side (on the stock rails)
I hope that helps...if not, Email me and I will scan the picture for you (not
for general distribution, it is copywrite)
