Description
The Atlas #2811 is a Z-scale Code 55 #6 Left-Hand turnout — part of Atlas's now-discontinued Z-scale True-Track program. Code 55 nickel-silver rail matches Atlas's Z-scale #2810 Super-Flex® Track, giving you a prototypical, low-profile rail height in the 1:220 Z scale.
The turnout features die-cast metal points and a die-cast frog with a built-in power-routing contact tab — leave it unpowered for DCC-friendly operation, or solder a feed wire to power the frog through the points. A built-in wire spring holds the points in position without an external switch machine.
How to use
- Manually thrown by hand; no switch machine required (the built-in wire spring locks the points either way).
- For powered operation, add a sub-miniature Tortoise™, Z-scale ground throw, or thread a Caboose Industries throw through a hole drilled below the throwbar.
- DCC-friendly out of the box — the frog is isolated until you choose to feed it.
- Pair with the right-hand version #2812 for yard ladders, and connect with Atlas Z Code 55 rail joiners #2814.
- Compatible with Märklin Z and other manufacturers' Code 55 Z-scale rail via standard joiners.
- Straight section: 110 mm. Crossing-leg straight section: 78 mm.
