Turnout Rail

R-11

Shape of Turnout Rail

A point that splits into straight and curved routes. You switch the route by hand.

The curved side bends exactly like an ordinary Curved Rail, so it can serve as part of a circle as it is. The strength of this part is that slipping 1 point into a loop doesn't break the loop's shape.

In this app you can switch the route after placing it. Run a train and you can see which way it goes.

Build with these exact dimensions

You can lay out every part, Turnout Rail included, using real-world dimensions. It accounts for the free play in every joint, so you know whether the loop closes before you build.
