This is different from radius-based Snap-Switch geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe #6 configuration provides a relatively gradual divergence, making it a popular choice where modelers want smoother-looking trackwork and more generous routing through a turnout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAtlas Custom-Line Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAtlas Custom-Line switches are designed differently from N scale switches that use shortened ties to accommodate a surface-mounted switch machine.
