Description
True-Track is Atlas's HO Code 83 sectional track system with integrated gray plastic roadbed molded to look like ballast — lay it directly on plywood, foam, or carpet and your trains run quietly with prototype proportions. Sections snap together with positive locking tabs.
The Atlas #453 is a four-pack of 1.5-inch (3.8 cm) straight True-Track Code 83 sections — the shortest standard True-Track straight, used for adjusting section lengths and aligning curves to straights in a True-Track layout.
How to use
- Connect to other Atlas True-Track Code 83 sections via the integrated snap-lock roadbed joiners.
- Use Atlas #498 transition track to connect to plain (non-roadbed) Atlas Code 83 flex or sectional track.
- Pin or glue with track nails or latex caulk; ballast edges with Woodland Scenics Fine Ballast.
- Pair with #452 (3" straight), #454 (2" straight), and #460 (18" curve) for full True-Track layout planning.
