sweet, thats exactly what I'm looking for.  I think im going to go with the details west for superdetailing my shinohara turnouts, and when I'm ready to tackle it, I think im going to get a CVT turnout kit.  I'd buy the CVT turnout details, but they don't come with instructions or diagrams to show you what every detail part is, for the uninformed haha.

The Frog detail is from Details west.

All the detail is added to a central valley switch kit.

You can buy from the manufacture or from the proto 87 site that you linked.

Hey, i was wondering if anyone knows anybody that sells turnout detail kits, stuff that you can put on commercial turnouts to make them look more like handlaid/proto87 turnouts. 

basically i'm talking about details like these:
