The PIKO 55310 A-Track Set B is a well thought-out addition for model railroaders who want to expand their H0 layout and make it more varied. This set allows you to expand your track system and offers numerous design options for realistic and varied model railroad operation.

Contents of the PIKO 55310 A-track set B

The set consists of the following components:

• 1 x Right turnout (PIKO 55221)

• 5 x Straight track 231 mm (PIKO 55201)
• 1 x buffer stop (PIKO 55280)

This combination enables the construction of additional track sections, such as a siding, a small station area or an extended track layout.

Base area and expansion options

In combination with track set A, this results in a base area of 158 cm x 88 cm. This extension provides sufficient space for additional train movements and increases the play value of your model railway layout. By integrating set B, you can add further operational scenarios to your layout, such as the shunting of freight wagons or the parking of passenger trains.

Compatibility and quality of the PIKO A-track system

The PIKO A-track system is characterized by high accuracy of fit and stability. The tracks are designed for use in H0 layouts (scale 1:87) and can be easily combined with other PIKO A-track components. The high-quality workmanship ensures reliable operation and a long service life. In addition, the A-track system offers a clear and simple geometry that makes it possible to realize complex track plans with just a few track elements. The realistic look with precisely engraved wooden sleepers and slim full profile rails made of stainless nickel silver material contributes to the authentic appearance of your model railway layout.

Technical details of the components included

Below you will find a detailed overview of the track elements included in the set:

• Right turnout (PIKO 55221): This turnout allows a track to branch off to the right and is equipped with a sturdy plastic bed and precise mechanics. The branching angle is 15°, the radius of the branching track is 908 mm. The turnout is prepared for the use of turnout drives so that subsequent electrification is possible without any problems.
• Straight track 239 mm (PIKO 55200): This straight track section with a length of 239 mm serves as a standard element for track construction and can be used in many ways to realize longer straight sections.
• Straight track 231 mm (PIKO 55201): The five straight tracks included, each 231 mm long, are ideal for building parallel track sections or for extending existing lines. Due to the slightly different length compared to the 239 mm track, flexible track layouts can be created.
• Buffer stop (PIKO 55280): The buffer stop serves as a termination for track ends and increases safety on your layout by preventing vehicles from unintentionally leaving the track. It has a detailed design and fits seamlessly into the overall appearance of the model railway layout.
