Does anyone have any record of the lengths of the straight sections for various Altas O Switches? Ive been a long time fastrack user and recently decided to make the switch to Atlas track. I’m likely going to use a fair amount of 054. Really what I’m getting at is what combinations of short straights are needed to equal the straight section of each switch length. I’ll probably be starting out with a large oval and will have only one switch so I need to make up the difference on the parallel straight. Thanks!

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.
