This can make turnout operation more convenient on larger layouts and in locations that are difficult to reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLeft-Hand Configuration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eATL584 is specifically the \u003cstrong\u003eleft-hand version\u003c\/strong\u003e of the Atlas HO Code 83 Remote Switch Machine. Switch-machine orientation is important because the operating mechanism must properly align with the compatible turnout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVerify the required switch-machine orientation for your particular Atlas turnout before installation, especially when purchasing ATL584 as a replacement for an existing mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSwitch Machine Only – Turnout Not Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eATL584 is a turnout-control switch machine and does not include the complete track switch or turnout.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is intended for model railroaders who need the operating mechanism separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes separate switch machines particularly useful for \u003cstrong\u003eturnout maintenance, replacement and layout upgrades\u003c\/strong\u003e when the track portion of an existing compatible switch remains usable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAtlas HO Remote Switch Machine Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHO Scale 1:87\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote turnout switch machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeft-hand configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned as a separate turnout-control component\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful with compatible Atlas HO Code 83 track switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFSH application identifies compatibility with Atlas Code 83 \u0026amp; TruTrack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful for replacement and layout upgrades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch machine only – turnout not included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtlas manufacturer item number 0584\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFusion Scale Hobbies SKU ATL584\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUseful for Layout Maintenance \u0026amp; Upgrades\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeparate turnout-control components can help keep an established model railroad operating without replacing otherwise usable trackwork.
