Piko 55423 A-Gleis with bedding Weiche-Bogen BWR

Piko 55423 A-track with ballast curved turnout right (BWR) - Flexibility and realism for your layout

With the Piko 55423 A-track with ballast in the form of a curved turnout on the right (BWR), you can expand the flexibility and design options of your model railway layout. This track element is designed for H0 gauge and offers an authentic appearance thanks to its precise workmanship and realistic ballast reproduction. The turnout is ideal for creating space-saving track layouts, for example in the area of stations or junctions.

The prototype: curved turnouts for efficient track junctions

Curved turnouts make it possible to efficiently design track junctions in confined areas such as stations or stabling facilities. In reality, such turnouts are used to guide trains onto parallel tracks or into side tracks without having to plan large radii. This function is reflected in model making and allows complex track layouts even in limited space.

Piko A track system - high quality and flexibility

The Piko A-track with ballast stands for precision and easy handling. The stable track elements are equipped with a realistic ballast bedding, which ensures an authentic appearance. Thanks to the detailed sleepers and the sharp-edged ballast replica, the curved turnout blends seamlessly into the overall appearance of your layout. The track is also designed for manual operation with precise positioning and enables reliable points setting.
