Atlas O Track Switch lengths

The online links to Atlas are not working…….but, from what I remember

AtlasO 36” and 45” diameter track switches are in 10” straights.

Atlas O 54” and 72” diameter curves have 14.5” straights…….however, there is a caveat……..the 72” is all one piece. The 54”  is 10” plus a detachable 4.5” straight to make 14.5” and gives you two options of incorporating it into a layout.

I don’t have my books with me…..so, I would back check my memory.

If you going to use Atlas track, you should purchase their layout book.

Thanks Peter. The book you’re referring to, is that the “36 Atlas O Layouts” book on their website?

Yes……..even if you don’t use their plans you get to see what the geometry looks like and for me, it was a source of ideas for my previous layout.

Thanks!
