Atlas N Scale Code 55 17.5" Radius Curved Track – 6-Pack – ATL2022

Atlas N Scale Code 55 17.5" Radius Curved Track – 6-Pack – ATL2022 includes six full-section curved track pieces for building smooth, consistent 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.

Atlas specifies that 16 full sections create a complete 360° circle at the 17.5" radius. This means each ATL2022 curved track section provides 22.5° of curvature, while the six pieces included in this package provide a combined 135° of 17.5" radius curvature.

17.5" Radius Full-Section Curved Track

ATL2022 maintains a consistent 17.5" radius throughout each curved section. Its fixed sectional geometry makes it easy to create predictable curves while providing a broad radius for N scale layouts with sufficient space.

Each package includes:

• 6 curved track sections
• 17.5" radius
• 22.5° of curvature per section
• 135° of total curvature per 6-pack
• 16 sections required for a complete 360° circle

Understanding 17.5" Radius Track Geometry

The 17.5" measurement describes the radius of the curve, while each individual full section covers 22.5° of a complete circle. Connecting additional sections increases the total angular coverage while maintaining the same 17.5" radius.

With 16 sections forming a complete circle, 4 sections create a 90° quarter-circle, 8 sections create a 180° half-circle and 16 sections create a complete 360° circle.

Broad Curves for N Scale Layouts

The 17.5" radius provides a broader curve than the 10", 11.25", 12.5", 13.75", 15" and 16.25" radius sectional curves in the Atlas Code 55 system. For layouts with sufficient space, broader curves provide more gradual track geometry and can create a more natural appearance for longer locomotives and rolling stock.

These 17.5" radius sections are useful for:

• Mainline curves
• Passing sidings
• Branch lines
• Station approaches
• Yard approaches
• Staging areas
• Broad sectional track arrangements
• Layouts designed around more gradual curves

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