Atlas N Scale Code 65 True-Track #5 Left-Hand Turnout with Roadbed – ATL2493

Atlas N Scale Code 65 True-Track #5 Left-Hand Turnout with Roadbed – ATL2493 provides a left-diverging route for N scale layouts using the Atlas True-Track system. Featuring #5 turnout geometry, this track component is ideal for adding sidings, yard tracks, industrial spurs, branch connections and other diverging routes to an N scale railroad.

As part of the Atlas N Scale Code 65 True-Track system, ATL2493 combines the convenience of sectional track with integrated roadbed, making it easy to incorporate a functional left-hand turnout into new or existing True-Track layouts.

Atlas #5 Left-Hand True-Track Turnout

ATL2493 is a #5 left-hand turnout. Equipment approaching the turnout can continue along the primary route or follow the diverging route toward the left, allowing one track to branch into two possible routes.

• #5 turnout geometry
• Left-hand turnout
• Code 65 rail
• Integrated True-Track roadbed
• Creates a left-diverging route
• Designed for Atlas N Scale True-Track

What Does #5 Turnout Mean?

The #5 designation describes the turnout's frog and diverging-route geometry. This is different from Atlas True-Track turnouts identified by a specific curve radius, such as the 12.5" radius turnouts.

Numbered turnout geometry provides modelers with another option when designing track arrangements, particularly for sidings, yards, industrial areas and other locations where a diverging route is required.

Left-Hand Diverging Route

As a left-hand turnout, ATL2493 allows equipment to continue along the primary route or take the left-diverging route. This makes it an essential building block for expanding a simple track plan into a railroad with multiple operating routes.

Common applications include:

• Passing sidings
• Yard entrances and exits
• Classification and storage tracks
• Industrial spurs
• Branch line connections
• Engine terminal tracks
• Station tracks
• Maintenance and service areas

Ideal for Yards, Sidings and Industrial Track

A #5 turnout offers useful geometry for many N scale track arrangements where layout space and operational flexibility both matter. ATL2493 can be incorporated into yards, industrial districts, passing sidings and other multi-track areas while maintaining compatibility with the Atlas True-Track system.

When designing your railroad, always check the minimum recommended operating requirements of your locomotives and rolling stock to ensure they are appropriate for the turnout and surrounding track geometry.

Atlas N Scale Code 65 True-Track

Atlas N Scale True-Track combines track and roadbed into an integrated sectional system designed for convenient N scale layout construction. The system uses Code 65 rail and allows straight track, curves, turnouts, crossings and other components to be combined into a variety of track plans.

The integrated roadbed provides a consistent track profile throughout compatible True-Track arrangements while simplifying initial track installation.
