Does anyone know if the Atlas True-Track turnouts are power routing or not?
Thanks,

True track...I remember a company that put out HO Scale True Track. Awesome stuff but I'ma sure that isn't what you are talking about here. Not wishing to start a flame war. But then who's here to start one with? They are out chasing girls in bikini's on the lake.  To answer your question: All switches manufactured today are power routed. The exception is that some do not power route to the frog, stepping over it and leaving it to you to wire it in. Ie., Atlas Code 55, does not power route the frog. You will need to wire it in. Peco's Electrofrog, Code 55 (but not really) does power route to the frog. Kato Unitrack does power route all the way through their switch. As a bonus the mechanism to automate the switch points (aka switch machine) is buried in the road bed...out of sight. Does that help. |

The Atlas N Scale Code 65 track with roadbed is also called True-Track... I wonder how well it's done. I don't know anyone who uses it.

I will say this all I've heard about it has been good. Preferred by many over the other pre-fab track with plastic roadbed. Myself, I'ma pretty stuck on Kato's Unitrack. |
