Featuring \u003cstrong\u003eCode 80 nickel silver rail, black ties, full-length ties and a double-ended throwbar\u003c\/strong\u003e, this Atlas Custom-Line turnout is an excellent choice for mainlines, passing sidings, yard approaches, industrial tracks and other locations where reliable route selection is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e#6 turnout geometry\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a more gradual diverging route than tighter turnout designs, making ATL2753 especially useful where smoother trackwork is desired. Atlas Custom-Line switches are designed for operation with an \u003cstrong\u003eAtlas Under-Table Switch Machine or compatible ground throw\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing the turnout-control mechanism to be installed without a conventional surface-mounted switch machine alongside the track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e#6 Right-Hand Turnout\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eATL2753 is a \u003cstrong\u003e#6 right-hand turnout\u003c\/strong\u003e.

This differs from radius-based Snap-Switch geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe #6 configuration provides a more gradual divergence than tighter numbered turnouts, making it well suited to locations where smoother-looking trackwork and a broader route through the turnout are desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAtlas Custom-Line Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAtlas Custom-Line switches differ from N scale switches designed around an attached surface-mounted switch machine. ATL2753 features \u003cstrong\u003efull-length railroad ties\u003c\/strong\u003e, providing a cleaner track appearance when an under-table mechanism or ground throw is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis design makes the Custom-Line series particularly useful for permanent N scale layouts where the turnout mechanism will be installed beneath the layout or operated manually with a ground throw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDouble-Ended Throwbar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eATL2753 features a \u003cstrong\u003edouble-ended throwbar\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing the turnout operating mechanism to be connected from either side of the switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis provides additional installation flexibility when positioning an under-table switch machine or ground throw, particularly where adjacent tracks, scenery or benchwork make one side of the turnout easier to access than the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUnder-Table Switch Machine or Ground Throw Operation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAtlas designs its Custom N Line switches for use with the \u003cstrong\u003eAtlas Under-Table Switch Machine\u003c\/strong\u003e or a compatible \u003cstrong\u003eground throw\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn under-table switch machine keeps the operating mechanism beneath the layout surface, while a ground throw provides direct manual control of the turnout at track level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGreat for Mainlines \u0026amp; Passing Sidings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gradual geometry of a #6 turnout makes ATL2753 particularly useful where trains need to transition smoothly between routes. It is well suited to mainline routing, passing sidings and approaches to yards, terminals and other operating areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe right-hand configuration can also be incorporated into industrial and switching areas where sufficient space is available for #6 turnout geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNumbered Turnout vs. Snap-Switch Geometry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eATL2753 is a \u003cstrong\u003enumbered #6 Custom-Line turnout\u003c\/strong\u003e. It should not be confused with an Atlas Snap-Switch whose diverging route is designed around a specified sectional-track curve radius.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen designing a track plan around ATL2753, use the actual #6 turnout geometry rather than assuming that its diverging route directly substitutes for a particular radius of sectional curved track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTurnout vs. Crossing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003eturnout\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a selectable route, allowing a train to continue along the straight alignment or move onto the diverging route.
