Built with \u003cstrong\u003esolid nickel silver Code 100 rail and black injection-molded plastic ties\u003c\/strong\u003e, this precision-engineered crossing integrates with Atlas HO Code 100 track for dependable operation and consistent track geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a turnout, which provides a route for a train to move from one track to another, a crossing allows \u003cstrong\u003etwo independent tracks to pass directly across each other\u003c\/strong\u003e. Each route continues straight through the crossing, making the 30° crossing useful for junctions, intersecting lines, industrial track arrangements and other locations where two tracks need to cross.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e30° Crossing for HO Scale Track Layouts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e30° crossing angle\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a more pronounced intersection than Atlas' shallower 19° and 25° crossings. This makes it useful when a track plan requires two routes to intersect at a sharper angle while maintaining fixed, precisely engineered geometry through the crossing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCrossings like this can be incorporated into mainline junctions, branch-line connections, industrial areas, yards and custom track arrangements. The correct crossing angle will depend on the geometry of the surrounding track and the specific layout plan being constructed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAtlas HO Code 100 30° 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\u003e30° 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 intersection geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for Atlas HO Code 100 track systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful for junctions and intersecting railroad routes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for mainline, branch-line, yard and industrial track arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixed geometry simplifies integration into compatible track plans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtlas manufacturer item number 0173\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFusion Scale Hobbies SKU ATL173\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild with Atlas HO Code 100 Track\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConnect the 30° crossing with compatible components from our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/atlas-ho-code-100-track\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAtlas HO Code 100 Track\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e collection to build complete HO scale track arrangements using sectional track, flex track, turnouts, crossings and other Code 100 components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor additional crossing angles, browse our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/atlas-ho-code-100-crossings\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAtlas HO Code 100 Crossings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e collection to find the geometry that best matches your track plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eExpand Your HO Scale Trackwork\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCombine this crossing with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/atlas-ho-code-100-turnouts-switches\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAtlas HO Code 100 Turnouts \u0026amp; Switches\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e when designing junctions, yards, sidings and other more complex track arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor rail joiners, track nails, terminal connections, switch machines and other installation supplies, browse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/atlas-ho-track-accessories\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAtlas HO Track Accessories\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eComplete Your Model Railroad Track System\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExplore our complete \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/atlas-ho-scale-track\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAtlas HO Scale Track\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e selection or browse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/model-railroad-track\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Railroad Track\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e for additional track systems and components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnce your trackwork has been installed and thoroughly tested, browse our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/paint\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003emodel railroad paint\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e for painting and weathering rails, ties and surrounding trackwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop additional products from \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/atlas-model-railroad\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAtlas Model Railroad\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and browse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/atlas-in-stock-products\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAtlas In-Stock Products\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e for currently available Atlas model railroad products.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42099572211968,"sku":"ATL173","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/6453\/5552\/files\/ATL173_FSH.jpg?v=1788983835","url":"https:\/\/fusionscalehobbies.com\/products\/atl173","provider":"Fusion Scale Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
