Featuring \u003cstrong\u003enickel silver rail, black ties and manual turnout operation\u003c\/strong\u003e, ATL2706 is ideal for modelers who want straightforward control directly at the track while retaining the option to convert the turnout to remote electrical operation later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe broader \u003cstrong\u003e#6 turnout geometry\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a more gradual diverging route than tighter standard switch designs, making this turnout an excellent choice for mainlines, passing sidings, crossovers, yard approaches and other locations where smoother routing is desirable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e#6 Left-Hand Turnout Geometry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eATL2706 is a \u003cstrong\u003e#6 left-hand turnout\u003c\/strong\u003e. When approaching the turnout from the single-track end, one route continues through the turnout while the diverging route branches toward the left.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe #6 geometry creates a broader and more gradual diverging route than tighter turnout designs. This makes #6 turnouts particularly useful where smoother operation and more prototypical-looking trackwork are desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eManual Turnout Operation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis version is designed for \u003cstrong\u003emanual operation\u003c\/strong\u003e. The turnout is thrown by moving the lever by hand to change the selected track route.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eManual operation is an excellent choice for turnouts located within easy reach of the operator, including foreground yards, industrial switching areas, engine facilities and compact layouts where electrical turnout control is unnecessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConvertible to Remote Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAtlas designed its manual N scale switches so they can be converted to remote electrical operation.
