Minitrix offers a left-hand curved switch in N scale: 1/160th under reference 14956 whose curve angle is 42° with a radius R1 of 194.6 mm and an R2 of 228.2 mm.
It is possible to automate a switch or TJD using the Minitrix 14935 and 14934 motors.
Minitrix turnouts have reliability in operation as well as polyvalence during assembly.
By offering normal as well as wound turnouts and also through-junctions, the Minitrix track range thus offers a device for every scenario.
For both standard and curved turnouts, there is a possible stop function for the train. There is a switch that supplies power to the track depending on the position of the point. To activate it, you simply 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 (33.6mm 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 made 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.
