Summary: A Turnout is the arrangement of rails to allow a train to be switched between the main route and a diverging route. A turnout consists of two components: A switch made of moveable and fixed rails, and a Frog. In model railroad terminology, turnout usually refers to a ready-made track item that can be incorporated into a layout, but the idea is the same. A turnout is also known as a switch, set of points or simply points. For purposes of clarity, the term turnout will be used for track switches.

Drogi zwrotnicowe zgrupowane w jednym końcu stacji nazywa się „głowicą stacyjną”.
