ATLAS DEAD-END UNCOUPLER, NICKEL SILVER Code 100 Ho Scale Snap Track

[Timken1111]

I just started using SCARM.

Does anyone know how long a ATLAS DEAD-END UNCOUPLER, NICKEL SILVER Code 100 Ho Scale Snap Track is?

The only results I found online are from retailers and eBay. Looks like Atlas stopped selling them.

I'm creating the Atlas HO-36 Oregon Pass Lines in SCARM and I'm hoping to keep the SCARM model as accurate as possible. The packaging in the photos on eBay doesn't specify the length. I'm guessing it's 9" but I'd like to confirm.

It's the same length as the standard straight sections.

I’d think the standard atlas section, nine inches?
Ha, Terry just beat me to it!
Try lining one up on the screen against another section.

It definitely looks that way!

I don't currently have a layout or even a single piece of track! It kind of seems like something to buy now anticipating the need for it in the distant future though. I imagine it could be easily resold.

I'm currently recreating the legacy HO-36 Oregon Pass Lines in SCARM. There are significant discrepancies between the 50 year old hand-drawn original layout and what I'm able to recreate in SCARM.

That's why I want to recreate the original in SCARM. I want to make sure everything works before I commit and start cutting lumber.

Atlas has over a dozen straight sections.

If you're going to be deliberately obtuse, I can't help you.
