Minitrix offers a left switch in N scale: 1/160th under reference 14951 which measures 104.2 mm whose curve angle is 24° with a R1 radius of 194.6 mm.
The Minitrix curved rail part number 14914 allows a parallel track to be made at 33.6 mm centres.
Using the 14916 curved rail as well as the 14912, this allows a parallel track to be made at 52.1 mm centres.
It is possible to automate a switch or TJD using the Minitrix 14935 and 14934 motors.
Minitrix switches have a reliability of operation as well as polyvalence during assembly.
By offering normal as well as wound turnouts and also junction crossings, the Minitrix track range thus offers a device for every scenario.
For standard as well as curved turnouts, there is a possible train stop function.There is a switch that powers the track depending on the position of the turnout. To activate it, all you have to do is use pliers to remove the small metal "U "s at the heart of the switch. This means that if two trains arrive at the point at the same time, only one of them will pass in the direction in which the switch is activated, to avoid collisions. If the metal "U "s are left in place, then the switch will operate leaving current in both tracks.
It is possible to make a parallel track using a minimum of space (33.6 mm centre-to-centre) simply by placing two switches opposite each other.
The track at scale N : 1/160th from the brand Minitrix offers a wide range of straight track as well as curved track, turnouts and crossings to offer a maximum possibility to build a model train layout using a minimum amount of space.
The track sections are manufactured from a rust-free metal alloy guaranteeing reliable contact between the wheel and the rails.
The width of a Minitrix track with sleepers is 16 mm, and the height of the profile is 2.1 mm in code 80.

Easy to install, Minitrix turnouts are supplied with fishplates already installed allowing the junction between two rails to be made.
For fixing, the Minitrix brand offers metal clips (optional) under reference 66528.
For permanent installation, there are screws as well as fixing nails in the Minitrix brand under the references 66548 / 66537.
The metal plates and plastic plates sold separately are under references 66525 / 66539.
The brand Minitrix offers a gabarit for its tracks under reference 66600 in order to make an accurate network plan.
