Description
The Micro Engineering 14-705 is an HO Code 83 #6 left-hand turnout — the broad mainline turnout (~9.5° diverging angle) for double-track crossovers, passing siding throats, and any place where modern long passenger cars and 89′ freight need to flow smoothly through the diverging route.
Turnout features: Micro Engineering turnouts are DCC-friendly — the points are insulated to prevent shorts under DCC control. The frog is an insulated cast-metal piece (provides clean electrical pickup but isolated from the rest of the turnout circuit). Metal guard rails, scale tie plates and spikes, and brown ties. Ready to drop into a Code 83 / Code 70 layout.
About Micro Engineering Flex-Trak: Micro Engineering is the gold standard for prototypical fine-scale track among serious modellers. Distinguishing features — scale-size moulded ties, tie plates, and spike heads (real spike geometry, visible at viewing distance) and irregular tie spacing that matches real-railroad practice (uniform-spaced model track instantly reads as "model"; ME's variation reads as "real"). Natural brown tie colour, nickel-silver rail.
