To those of you who are about to start your models, don't worry if you get some details wrong. It's a learning experience, and if you're lucky you can dig up a reference to justify what you've done.
I always thought the 4th rail in stations should be away from the platform unless it's impossible - eg centre road at White City.
I just stumbled on this reference to the original Osterley station in 1930. Lo and behold the outer electric rails are along the platform side, even in the days when it was open for passengers.

Are there any other examples out there of things which would normally be 'wrong' but for which there's an actual example?
