Description
The Atlas 482 is an HO scale Left Hand manual snap-switch turnout in the True-Track Code 83 system, sized to match Atlas's 22″ radius curve geometry on the diverging route. The wider 22″ radius gives better operation for longer locomotives and rolling stock than the standard 18″ snap. Points are thrown manually with the integrated over-center spring throwbar; the pre-ballasted gray roadbed drops in flush with other True-Track sections.
Key Features
- Code 83 nickel-silver rail on simulated brown wood ties
- One-piece molded gray ballast roadbed
