Thanks!

Doesn't it seem to missing lead rails,switchpoint rail,closure rail,guard rails and a frog?Least that's the way we built them.

It's not all of the switch; it's a short section around the switch head rod, so all we see is part of the points. It's disappointing that we're not getting a full switch, but that would require a much longer box to fit the base and both stock rails; the closure rails, frog, and guard rails wouldn't take up much space.

I had to zoom the image quite a bit to be sure, but it looks as if the box art was constructed wrong -- it looks like both of the points are touching the stock rails, and that isn't right -- there would be no way to throw the switch if that were the case.
