This Atlas HO Scale Code 100 Snap-Switch Manual Turnout features Code 100 nickel-silver rail with black molded-plastic ties and a plastic frog. The turnout comes equipped with an attached manual, above-benchwork switch machine. The 18" radius turnout also includes a 1/3 18" radius curve compensator track so for planning it equals one 18" curved section. The track geometry of Code 100 Snap Track matches that of Code 83 Snap Track, so Code 100 track can be substituted for Code 83 in various Snap Track track plans when using adaptor track joiners (sold separately).
These switches have a remote control switch machine attached so you can wire the switch to be "thrown" (changing the direction of the rail), from your control panel, rather than from the switch itself. Comes with a 1/3 18" radius section, making the curved leg equal to an 18" radius section. To add a passing track and siding, simply replace a 9" straight section. When replacing an 18' radius curved section with an Atlas Snap-Switch, add a 1 1/2" straight section to the opposite side."
