A student uses the wide lever on a track-switch demonstration table while a museum guide observes with a clipped blank card. A rail-sample shelf, teaching table and signal model surround the central exhibit.
Find twelve items: wide switch lever, barrier sample, track gauge, sleeper sample, rail joint plate, magnifier, diagram clip, signal model, soft brush, folding ruler, small wrench and backpack. The sleeper target is the separate rectangular beam on the shelf; the diagram clip is the binder clip at the top of the card. Shorter lever and plate names appear in the legend.
Includes Chinese and English color, lineart and answer PNGs, each 1072 by 1620 pixels. Answer colors in legend order are red, yellow, blue, orange, purple, green, pink, cyan, gold, lime, violet-pink and teal; the signal lenses are red, yellow and green. The lineart retains many ballast and track details. The mechanism is illustrative and has not been checked for engineering accuracy. A small railing-like background segment behind the student also appears yellow in the answer. No exhaustive uniqueness audit or child playtesting was performed. Source guidance: ages 13–17, L4.
