Description
The Atlas 483 is an HO scale Right 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.
Key Features
- Code 83 nickel-silver rail on simulated brown wood ties
- One-piece molded gray ballast roadbed
- Manual throwbar with over-center spring detent
- Power-routing frog
- Diverging route matches Atlas 22″ radius curves — better for 6-axle diesels and 80′ passenger cars
