Atlas HO Code 100 19° Crossing – Nickel Silver – ATL171

Atlas HO Code 100 19° Crossing – ATL171 is a fixed track section that allows two HO scale railroad tracks to intersect at a 19-degree angle. Built with solid nickel silver Code 100 rail and black injection-molded plastic ties, this precision-engineered crossing is designed to integrate with Atlas HO Code 100 track for reliable operation and consistent track geometry.

Unlike a turnout, which allows a train to change from one route to another, a crossing allows two independent tracks to pass directly across each other. Trains continue straight through the crossing along their respective routes, making this piece useful anywhere two railroad tracks need to intersect at a shallow 19° angle.

19° Crossing for Junctions & Double Crossovers

The relatively shallow 19° crossing angle makes this track section particularly useful for junctions involving parallel or nearly parallel routes. Atlas specifically notes that the 19° crossing works especially well for creating junctions between double-track mainlines.

This crossing can also be used as the center component of a double crossover. Atlas recommends combining the 19° crossing with compatible #6 turnouts when constructing this arrangement.

A double crossover allows trains to move between two parallel tracks in either direction. The 19° crossing forms the intersecting track section at the center of the arrangement, while the surrounding turnouts provide the routes between the two main tracks.
