Part of the \u003cstrong\u003eAtlas N Scale Code 55 track system\u003c\/strong\u003e, this wye turnout features fine nickel silver rail with simulated brown wood ties for a realistic, prototypical track appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a conventional left- or right-hand turnout, a \u003cstrong\u003ewye turnout divides one incoming track into two diverging routes\u003c\/strong\u003e. Both routes curve away from the centerline, creating a symmetrical track arrangement that is useful wherever a conventional straight-and-diverging turnout does not fit the desired track plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e#2.5 Wye Turnout Geometry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eATL2056 is specifically designed as a \u003cstrong\u003e#2.5 wye turnout\u003c\/strong\u003e. The #2.5 designation describes the turnout's frog geometry and should not be confused with the #5 designation used on Atlas's conventional left- and right-hand Code 55 turnouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause both routes diverge from the centerline, a wye turnout provides different track-planning possibilities than a standard left- or right-hand turnout and can be especially useful when building compact symmetrical track arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Is a Wye Turnout?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA wye turnout has \u003cstrong\u003eone track entering from one end and two diverging routes leaving the opposite end\u003c\/strong\u003e. Rather than having one route continue essentially straight while the other diverges, both routes of a wye turnout diverge in opposite directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes ATL2056 useful anywhere a track needs to divide into two routes without favoring a conventional straight route.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Use a Wye Turnout\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe specialized geometry of ATL2056 makes it useful for a variety of N scale track arrangements, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRailroad junctions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreight yards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine terminals and locomotive facilities\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStaging yards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBranching track arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetrical track splits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact track planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComponents of complete turning-wye arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilding a Turning Wye\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eATL2056 can be used as one component when constructing a \u003cstrong\u003ecomplete turning wye\u003c\/strong\u003e, an arrangement that allows locomotives or complete trains to reverse direction.
