Atlas N Scale Code 55 16.25" Radius Half-Section Curved Track – 6-Pack – ATL2021

Atlas N Scale Code 55 16.25" Radius Half-Section Curved Track – 6-Pack – ATL2021 includes six half-section curved track pieces designed for making precise adjustments to 16.25" radius 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.

Each half section maintains the full 16.25" radius while providing a shorter curved section than the corresponding full-section track. This gives modelers additional flexibility when building sectional track plans where a full curved section would add too much curvature.

16.25" Radius Half-Section Curved Track

The term half section refers to the shorter section of curved track—not half of the radius. ATL2021 remains a true 16.25" radius curve, allowing it to be used alongside corresponding full-section 16.25" radius track while maintaining consistent curve geometry.

Each package includes:

• 6 curved track sections
• 16.25" radius
• Half-section curved track geometry
• Fine nickel silver rail
• Simulated brown wood ties

Fine-Tune 16.25" Radius Curves

Half-section curves provide greater control when building with fixed sectional track. When a full curved section creates too much change in direction, ATL2021 provides a smaller adjustment while maintaining the same 16.25" radius throughout the curve.

These half-section curves are useful for:

• Fine-tuning sectional track geometry
• Completing curves with specific alignment requirements
• Adjusting approaches to turnouts and crossings
• Connecting curved and straight track arrangements
• Mainline curves
• Passing sidings
• Station approaches
• Yard approaches
• Staging areas

Same 16.25" Radius – Shorter Curved Section

ATL2021 should not be confused with a smaller-radius curve. A half section does not reduce the 16.25" radius. Instead, it follows the same 16.25" radius geometry while providing a shorter curved section for more precise track planning.

This makes half sections particularly useful when combining multiple pieces of sectional track and trying to achieve a specific alignment without changing to a different curve radius.

Broad N Scale Curve Geometry

The 16.25" radius is broader 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, this broader geometry can provide more gradual-looking curves while these half sections add flexibility for fine-tuning the overall track arrangement.

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, particularly when operating longer locomotives, passenger cars or freight equipment.
