Description

Roco 42560 H0 Left Curved Turnout BWl2/3: A precision track component for discerning model railroaders

The Roco 42560 H0 Left Curved Turnout BWl2/3 is a high-quality left-hand curved turnout designed specifically for H0 model railroad layouts. With a radius of 358 mm (R2) for both the main and branch tracks and a curve angle of 30°, it enables realistic and space-saving track layouts.

Technical Features and Improvements

The turnout is equipped with completely redesigned heart pieces and wheel guides, which allow for prototypical passage through the turnout sections. The groove width in the switch point area complies with NEM standards, ensuring smooth operation and high compatibility with various vehicle types. Additionally, the switch point’s polarization is pre-installed, which increases electrical reliability.

Electrical Features and Expansion Options

For optional electric operation, the turnout can be retrofitted with the appropriate electric motors 42620 or 42624. This enables convenient remote control and integration into digital control systems.

Note on use with long cars

Please note that the R2/R3 curved turnout is only partially suitable for use with scale-length D-train cars (overall length over 300 mm). In the area of the opposing switch, the parallel clearance is geometrically slightly reduced, which means that two oncoming cars with a length over 300 mm cannot pass each other without obstruction.

Conclusion

The Roco 42560 H0 Left Curved Turnout BWl2/3, with its well-thought-out technical improvements and the option for electrical retrofitting, is an excellent addition for discerning model railroaders who value attention to detail and functionality.
