{"product_id":"atl171","title":"Atlas HO Code 100 19° Crossing – Nickel Silver – ATL171","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAtlas HO Code 100 19° Crossing – ATL171\u003c\/strong\u003e is a fixed track section that allows two HO scale railroad tracks to intersect at a \u003cstrong\u003e19-degree angle\u003c\/strong\u003e. Built with \u003cstrong\u003esolid nickel silver Code 100 rail and black injection-molded plastic ties\u003c\/strong\u003e, this precision-engineered crossing is designed to integrate with Atlas HO Code 100 track for reliable operation and consistent track geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a turnout, which allows a train to change from one route to another, a crossing allows \u003cstrong\u003etwo independent tracks to pass directly across each other\u003c\/strong\u003e. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e19° Crossing for Junctions \u0026amp; Double Crossovers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe relatively shallow \u003cstrong\u003e19° crossing angle\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 \u003cstrong\u003edouble-track mainlines\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis crossing can also be used as the center component of a \u003cstrong\u003edouble crossover\u003c\/strong\u003e. Atlas recommends combining the 19° crossing with compatible \u003cstrong\u003e#6 turnouts\u003c\/strong\u003e when constructing this arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAtlas HO Code 100 19° Crossing Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHO Scale model railroad track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCode 100 rail profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e19° fixed crossing angle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllows two independent tracks to intersect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid nickel silver rail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack injection-molded plastic ties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-engineered fixed crossing geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for Atlas HO Code 100 track systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for railroad junctions and intersecting routes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWell suited for junctions between double-track mainlines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan be combined with compatible #6 turnouts to construct a double crossover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtlas manufacturer item number 0171\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFusion Scale Hobbies SKU ATL171\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild with Atlas HO Code 100 Track\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncorporate the 19° crossing into your layout using compatible products from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/atlas-ho-code-100-track\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAtlas HO Code 100 Track\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e collection, including flex track, sectional track, turnouts and other components for building complete HO scale track arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor additional intersection angles and configurations, browse our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/atlas-ho-code-100-crossings\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAtlas HO Code 100 Crossings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePair with Atlas Code 100 Turnouts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor double crossover construction, the 19° crossing can be combined with compatible #6 turnouts to create routes between two parallel tracks.
