Atlas N Scale Code 55 21.25"/15" Radius Left Curved Turnout – ATL2058

Atlas N Scale Code 55 21.25"/15" Radius Left Curved Turnout – ATL2058 provides a space-efficient way to divide a curved N scale track into two separate curved routes. Designed with 21.25" outer and 15" inner radii, this left-hand curved turnout is ideal for incorporating a siding, junction or secondary route directly into a curve without first transitioning back to straight track.

Part of the realistic Atlas N Scale Code 55 track system, ATL2058 features fine nickel silver rail with simulated brown wood ties. Its dual-radius curved geometry makes it especially useful for track plans where space is valuable or where maintaining a flowing curved alignment is preferred.

21.25" Outer & 15" Inner Radius Geometry

ATL2058 incorporates two different curved routes into a single turnout:

• Outer Route: 21.25" Radius
• Inner Route: 15" Radius

Unlike a conventional turnout where one route generally continues straight and the other diverges, both routes through this turnout are curved. This allows a modeler to establish two different curved alignments directly from an existing curve.

Left-Hand Curved Turnout

This is the left-hand version of the Atlas Code 55 curved turnout. Its specialized geometry provides greater flexibility when designing track plans that require a route to branch while remaining within a curved section of railroad.

Curved turnouts can be especially valuable where a conventional straight turnout would require additional transitions or consume valuable layout space.

Where to Use a Curved Turnout

The 21.25"/15" radius combination makes ATL2058 useful for many N scale track-planning applications, including:

• Passing siding entrances
• Curved junctions
• Yard approaches
• Station approaches
• Branch line connections
• Staging areas
• Multi-track curves
• Locations where a turnout must be incorporated directly into a curve
• Track plans where conserving space is important

Two Curved Routes in One Turnout

The major advantage of a curved turnout is its ability to begin a diverging route without requiring the main track to become straight first. ATL2058 allows one route to follow the broader 21.25" radius while the other follows the tighter 15" radius.

This can make curved turnouts particularly useful when fitting passing sidings, yard entrances or junctions into areas where conventional turnout geometry would require substantially more space.

Check Equipment Minimum Radius

Because the inner route of ATL2058 uses a 15" radius, modelers should verify the minimum-radius recommendations for their locomotives and rolling stock when planning the turnout's location.

Longer locomotives and rolling stock may perform or look better on broader curves, making equipment compatibility an important consideration when determining which route through the turnout will be regularly used.

Atlas N Scale Code 55 Track

Atlas N Scale Code 55 track is designed for model railroaders seeking fine, realistic-looking N scale trackwork. The system features fine nickel silver rail and simulated brown wood ties for a more prototypical appearance.

The complete Atlas Code 55 line includes flex track, straight track, curved track, turnouts and crossings, allowing modelers to construct detailed track plans using compatible Atlas components throughout the railroad.

Realistic Code 55 Rail Profile

The finer Code 55 rail profile provides realistic proportions for detailed N scale layouts. Combined with the simulated brown wood ties, ATL2058 provides an excellent foundation for ballast, rail weathering and surrounding trackside scenery.
