Atlas N Scale Code 80 Plastic Insulating Rail Joiners – 6-Pack (144 Joiners) – ATL2538

Atlas N Scale Code 80 Plastic Insulating Rail Joiners – 6-Pack (144 Joiners) – ATL2538 provides a bulk supply of insulated rail joiners for creating electrically isolated sections of N scale model railroad track. This Fusion Scale Hobbies 6-pack includes six individual Atlas #2538 packages with 24 plastic rail joiners per package, providing 144 insulating rail joiners total.

Unlike nickel silver rail joiners that mechanically connect the rails while also carrying electrical current, these plastic insulating rail joiners mechanically connect adjoining rail sections while preventing electrical continuity across the joint. This makes them an important track-wiring component wherever separate electrical sections are required.

6-Pack – 144 Insulating Rail Joiners Total

This listing contains six individual packages of Atlas #2538 N Scale Plastic Insulating Rail Joiners.

• 24 insulating rail joiners per individual package
• 6 individual packages included
• 144 plastic insulating rail joiners total

The larger quantity is ideal for new layouts, major track expansions, club layouts and model railroaders who want plenty of insulating joiners available for track wiring and future modifications.

Electrically Isolate Track Sections

The primary purpose of ATL2538 is to electrically isolate adjoining sections of rail. The plastic construction prevents electrical current from passing directly across the rail joint while still providing a mechanical connection between the adjoining rails.

This allows model railroaders to divide a layout into electrically separate track sections wherever the layout's wiring plan requires isolation.

Plastic vs. Nickel Silver Rail Joiners

Choosing the correct type of rail joiner depends on whether electrical continuity is desired at the track joint.

• Nickel silver rail joiners mechanically connect the rails and conduct electricity between adjoining sections.
• Plastic insulating rail joiners mechanically connect the rails while electrically isolating one section from the next.

ATL2538 should therefore be used where an insulated rail joint is required rather than where uninterrupted electrical continuity through the joint is desired.

Useful for Model Railroad Electrical Sections

Insulating rail joiners are useful anywhere the electrical design of an N scale railroad requires one rail section to be separated from another.

Common applications can include:

• Creating electrically isolated track sections
• Separating electrical blocks
• Track power management
• Special wiring arrangements
• Isolating selected sidings or storage tracks
• Layout expansions and rewiring projects
• Replacing worn or damaged insulating joiners

Designed for Atlas N Scale Code 80 Track

ATL2538 is an Atlas N Scale Code 80 track accessory designed for use when an insulated connection is needed between compatible rail sections.

These joiners are small but important components when constructing trackwork where electrical isolation must be maintained at specific rail joints.

Ideal for Layout Construction & Expansion

With 144 total insulating rail joiners, this six-package bundle provides a substantial supply for layout construction, electrical modifications and future expansion.

Keeping additional insulating joiners available can also be helpful when changing track arrangements or adding new electrically isolated sections later.
