Used where two tracks cross exactly perpendicular: this is the geometry of an interchange diamond at a city crossing, where two railroads meet at right angles. The most space-efficient crossing layout — the diamond fits in roughly the same footprint as a single piece of regular track.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePre-assembled with nickel-silver Code 80 rail on standard black ties. Each rail through the diamond is electrically isolated, so the two crossing tracks can be wired as separate DC or DCC blocks. The 90° geometry means trains slow noticeably crossing the diamond — prototype practice was always to have an interlocking with signals at busy 90° crossings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnect with Atlas Code 80 rail joiners (#2535) to flex track or sectional Code 80 pieces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWire each crossing route to its own block — the rails through the diamond are electrically isolated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest for: interchange diamonds, urban grid railroading, scenes where two railroads cross at right angles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompanion crossings: #2565 (20°), #2566 (30°), #2567 (45°), #2568 (60°).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with all Atlas N Code 80 track, turnouts, and bridges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e N (1:160)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRail Code:\u003c\/strong\u003e Code 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Crossing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAngle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Atlas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU \/ Item Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2569\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Atlas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45096970518710,"sku":"150-2569","price":16.78,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/5131\/1286\/files\/57_ca7c31c1-0a49-4a6b-ac9d-507d20b05fae.jpg?v=1777508826","url":"https:\/\/oakvillemodeltrains.com\/products\/atlas-2569-n-scale-code-80-nickel-silver-90-degree-crossing","provider":"Oakville Model Trains Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
