Atlas N Scale Code 65 True-Track #5 Right-Hand Turnout with Roadbed – ATL2494

The Atlas N Scale Code 65 True-Track #5 Right-Hand Turnout with Roadbed – ATL2494 is a sectional track turnout designed for creating a right-diverging route on an N Scale model railroad. Part of the Atlas True-Track system, this #5 turnout combines Code 65 rail with integrated simulated ballast roadbed for convenient track planning and a more realistic finished appearance.

A right-hand turnout allows a single track to divide into two routes, with the diverging route moving toward the right. This makes ATL2494 useful when building passing sidings, yard tracks, industrial spurs, staging areas and other track arrangements where trains need access to an alternate route.

Atlas N Scale Code 65 True-Track

Atlas True-Track combines sectional track with an integrated roadbed system. Atlas uses Code 65 rail for its N Scale True-Track line along with dark brown ties, prototypical tie spacing and simulated ballast roadbed, creating a track system designed to provide both convenient assembly and a realistic appearance.

#5 Right-Hand Turnout Geometry

ATL2494 is a #5 right-hand turnout. When approaching the turnout from the single-track end, the diverging route moves toward the right while the other route continues through the turnout.

The #5 designation refers to the turnout geometry rather than a simple sectional-track curve radius. This distinction is important when planning track arrangements, particularly when combining turnouts with surrounding straight and curved track sections.

Using a Right-Hand Turnout

Turnouts are used anywhere a model railroad needs to divide one track into alternative routes. A right-hand turnout can be incorporated into yard ladders, passing sidings, industrial switching areas, staging tracks and other locations where the desired diverging route extends toward the right.

Because this is a numbered #5 turnout, it should not be treated as a conventional fixed-radius sectional curve. When planning a layout, consider the turnout geometry together with the surrounding track arrangement and always check the manufacturer's minimum recommended operating radius for your locomotives and rolling stock.
