Part of the popular Atlas Code 80 track system, this turnout features \u003cstrong\u003enickel silver rail, black ties and remote operation\u003c\/strong\u003e for convenient route control on your layout.\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. This symmetrical track arrangement makes ATL2708 useful for specialized track plans, junctions, yard entrances and as a component when constructing a complete turning wye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStandard Wye Turnout Geometry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eATL2708 is a \u003cstrong\u003estandard wye turnout\u003c\/strong\u003e. Instead of providing one straight route and one diverging route like a conventional turnout, both routes diverge away from the incoming track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis distinctive geometry allows a wye turnout to be incorporated into track arrangements where a symmetrical split is desirable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRemote Turnout Operation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis version is designed for \u003cstrong\u003eremote operation\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing the selected route to be changed electrically rather than requiring the turnout to be thrown manually at the track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRemote operation is especially useful when the turnout is located farther from the operator, incorporated into more complex trackwork or controlled from a centralized layout control panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Is a Wye Turnout?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA wye turnout is different from a standard left- or right-hand turnout because \u003cstrong\u003eboth routes diverge from the incoming track\u003c\/strong\u003e. This allows the track to split in two directions while maintaining a more symmetrical arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA single wye turnout should not be confused with a complete railroad turning wye. Instead, it is one track component that can be incorporated into a larger three-legged wye arrangement designed to turn locomotives or complete trains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Use a Wye Turnout\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe specialized geometry of ATL2708 makes it useful for several types of N scale track arrangements, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComponents of complete turning wyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBranch line junctions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYard entrances and exits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine terminal trackwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndustrial track arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStaging areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSymmetrical track splits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocations where two routes diverge from a common approach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilding a Complete Turning Wye\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePrototype railroads use wye track arrangements to provide a method of turning locomotives, passenger equipment or complete trains.
