Part of the popular Atlas Code 80 track system, this turnout features \u003cstrong\u003enickel silver rail, black ties and manual operation\u003c\/strong\u003e for straightforward route control directly at the track.\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 geometry makes ATL2709 useful for junctions, yard entrances, engine facilities, specialized track arrangements and as one component when constructing a complete railroad turning wye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStandard Wye Turnout Geometry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eATL2709 is a \u003cstrong\u003estandard wye turnout\u003c\/strong\u003e. Rather than 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 creates a more symmetrical track split and gives model railroaders another option when designing junctions, yards and other specialized track arrangements.\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, allowing the selected route to be changed directly at the turnout without requiring electrical remote-control equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eManual operation is particularly useful when the turnout is located within easy reach of the operator, such as in foreground yards, engine facilities, industrial switching areas and compact layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Is a Wye Turnout?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA wye turnout differs from a conventional left- or right-hand turnout because \u003cstrong\u003eboth routes diverge from the incoming track\u003c\/strong\u003e. This makes it useful anywhere a track plan calls for two routes to branch away from a common approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA wye turnout can also be incorporated into a larger track arrangement used to turn locomotives or complete trains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWye Turnout vs. Complete Turning Wye\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is important to distinguish an individual wye turnout from a complete railroad turning wye. ATL2709 is \u003cstrong\u003eone turnout component\u003c\/strong\u003e. A complete turning wye uses multiple sections of track and turnouts arranged into a triangular track configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen incorporated into a complete wye arrangement, the track configuration can allow locomotives, passenger equipment or entire trains to be turned around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Use a Wye Turnout\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe specialized geometry of ATL2709 makes it useful for many 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 switching areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStaging yards\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\u003eAtlas N Scale Code 80 Track\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eATL2709 is part of the \u003cstrong\u003eAtlas N Scale Code 80 track system\u003c\/strong\u003e.
