The Atlas #8 Customline® Mark IV Turnout in HO scale with right - hand code 83 (#150 - 566) is a top - notch model railway accessory. These Custom - Line Turnouts offer prototypical accuracy. They come with blackened metal frogs and rivetless switch points, which ensure excellent electrical conductivity. You can power these turnouts using an under - table switch machine, or standard remote and manual code 83 switch machines. All Custom - Line Turnouts have the same geometry as Atlas' current code 100 versions, allowing for easy drop - in installation in Atlas and other layout plans. Note that you can't replace a Snap - Switch with a Custom - Line Turnout as their geometries differ.
