Atlas N Scale Code 55 16.25" Radius Curved Track – 6-Pack – ATL2020

Atlas N Scale Code 55 16.25" Radius Curved Track – 6-Pack – ATL2020 includes six full-section curved track pieces for building smooth, consistent curves on N scale model railroads. Part of the Atlas N Scale Code 55 track system, each section features fine nickel silver rail with simulated brown wood ties for realistic, prototypical-looking trackwork.

Atlas specifies that 16 full sections create a complete 360° circle at the 16.25" radius. This means each ATL2020 curved track section provides 22.5° of curvature, while the six pieces included in this package provide a combined 135° of 16.25" radius curvature.

16.25" Radius Full-Section Curved Track

ATL2020 maintains a consistent 16.25" radius throughout each curved section. Its fixed sectional geometry makes it easy to create predictable curves while providing a broader radius for N scale layouts with sufficient space.

Each package includes:

• 6 curved track sections
• 16.25" radius
• 22.5° of curvature per section
• 135° of total curvature per 6-pack
• 16 sections required for a complete 360° circle

Understanding 16.25" Radius Track Geometry

The 16.25" measurement describes the radius of the curve, while each individual full section covers 22.5° of a complete circle. Connecting additional sections increases the total angular coverage while maintaining the same 16.25" radius.

With 16 sections forming a complete circle, 4 sections create a 90° quarter-circle, 8 sections create a 180° half-circle and 16 sections create a complete 360° circle.

Broad N Scale Curve Geometry

The 16.25" radius provides a broader curve than the 10", 11.25", 12.5", 13.75" and 15" radius sectional curves in the Atlas Code 55 system. For layouts with sufficient space, broader curves can provide a more gradual appearance and additional room for longer N scale locomotives and rolling stock.

These 16.25" radius sections are useful for:

• Mainline curves
• Passing sidings
• Branch lines
• Station approaches
• Yard approaches
• Staging areas
• Broader sectional track arrangements
• Layouts designed around more gradual curves

Check Your Equipment's Minimum Radius

Minimum-radius requirements vary between N scale locomotives and rolling stock. Always check the recommended minimum radius for your equipment when planning a layout, especially when operating longer locomotives, passenger cars or freight equipment.
