N Scale Atlas Code 80 Track

N Scale Atlas Code 80 Track for Model Railroad Layouts

Atlas Code 80 is a long-established standard in N scale model railroading, offering a proven balance of realistic rail profile and dependable electrical conductivity. The nickel silver rail construction delivers consistent power to locomotives across extensive layouts, reducing troubleshooting and maximizing operating time. Code 80 rail height accurately represents main line trackage in N scale, making it well suited to a wide range of layout themes and operating scenarios.

The system's precision-molded ties, accurate rail profiles, and secure rail joiners create a reliable foundation for layouts ranging from compact shelf designs to room-filling main line operations. Each component is engineered to accept standard N scale wheel sets and integrate with NMRA-standard equipment from all major manufacturers.

Turnouts and Crossings for Complex Track Planning

The Code 80 lineup includes a broad selection of turnouts to address any track planning requirement, from gentle mainline diverging routes to tighter yard and industrial configurations. Both manual and remote operation options are available, supporting simple toggle control as well as more sophisticated DCC and computer-based dispatching systems. Wye switches enable efficient turnaround operations and junction configurations where space is at a premium.

Crossing diamonds expand layout possibilities with a range of angles suited to double-track mainlines, junction crossings, and industrial spurs. Each crossing maintains proper guard rails and frog geometry for reliable wheel guidance, keeping operations smooth through even the most complex track arrangements.

Flex Track and Snap-Track Components

Super flex track forms the backbone of custom layout design, bending smoothly to virtually any curve radius while maintaining proper rail alignment and gauge. It integrates seamlessly with all Code 80 turnouts and crossings, making it the preferred choice for modelers who want full control over their track plan geometry.

Snap-track sections offer pre-formed components for faster layout construction, with straight and curved options in multiple radii to accommodate different space requirements. Terminal rerailers and bumpers round out the system, providing practical solutions for everyday layout operation and equipment protection.

Remote Control and Layout Automation

Remote switch machines convert manual turnouts into remotely operated routes, supporting centralized dispatching and automated operations. Under-table mounting keeps mechanisms out of sight while delivering positive throw action and reliable point alignment. The system is compatible with DC and DCC control configurations, giving modelers flexibility as their layouts evolve.

Starter sets and assortments provide an economical entry point for new layouts, bundling commonly used components in convenient packages that ensure compatibility throughout the track plan.

System Compatibility and Expansion

Manufactured by Atlas Model Railroad, Code 80 track integrates with the full Atlas N scale product ecosystem while accepting equipment from all major N scale manufacturers. Track geometry follows NMRA standards for universal wheel and coupler compatibility.
