Description
The Atlas 478 is an HO scale Left Hand manual snap-switch turnout in the True-Track Code 83 system. The diverging route follows Atlas's standard snap geometry (equivalent to an 18″ radius curve), and the points are thrown manually with the integrated over-center spring throwbar. The one-piece pre-ballasted gray roadbed drops in flush with other True-Track sections — no separate cork or foam required.
