Progress in making my crude experiment a little more refined! I'm creating identifying signs for each barrel bolt with a description of the turnout's function and a colored dot designation for direction. I've tried to be consistent and oriented all of the barrel bolt controls so the top position keeps the turnout set for the main line or straight option. The lower position for all controls sets the turnout to its diverting right or left direction.
I've added colored dots to help visually reinforce this idea. Green is straight, red is diverted.

I also tried to make the finshline and nail connection look better by coloring it with a black marker. I'll replace the ballast I removed during installation.
