{"product_id":"piko-35228-g-scale-r3-left-manual-switch-22-5-degrees","title":"Piko 35228 G Scale R3 Left Manual Switch, 22.5 Degrees","description":"The Piko 35228 is a G Scale left-hand manual switch built on the tighter R3 geometry, turning through 22.5 degrees with a diverging radius of 920mm (36.2 inches) and a diameter of 1840mm (72.4 inches). Its built-in light spring mechanism holds the point rails in position while still allowing a train to pass through against the points without derailing, so you do not need a separate machine or manual throw to run it. Hidden jumper wires keep the electrical path reliable for years of use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConstructed to the Piko G-Track standard, the 35228 uses 100 percent virgin brass rail in Code 332 (0.332 inch high) solid profile with ultraviolet-stabilized HDPE ties. Each 35228 switch fills the space of one G280 plus one G140 straight (280mm plus 140mm) together with a short R5 curve, making tight yards and passing loops easy to plan. Add a Piko 35271 switch machine and a controller when you want to convert the 35228 to remote operation, and rely on the factory-formed push-together joiners for a snug fit with most other brands of G scale track.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey Features:\u003cbr\u003e- G Scale left-hand manual turnout, Piko item 35228\u003cbr\u003e- Piko brand, coordinated with the Piko G-Track geometric system\u003cbr\u003e- R3 geometry: 22.5 degree angle, 920mm (36.2 inch) radius, 1840mm (72.4 inch) diameter\u003cbr\u003e- Built-in spring mechanism holds the points and permits trailing passes without derailing\u003cbr\u003e- 100 percent virgin brass rail in Code 332 (0.332 inch high) solid profile\u003cbr\u003e- Ultraviolet-stabilized HDPE ties for outdoor durability\u003cbr\u003e- Fits the space of a G280 plus G140 straight, convertible to remote with a 35271 switch machine\u003cbr\u003e- Compatible with most other brands of G scale track","brand":"Black Forest® Hobby Supply Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44468901544024,"sku":"PK-35228","price":84.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/0554\/8376\/files\/7af68e4e-903d-54f4-a5f9-e8fee7b79900.png?v=1785160152","url":"https:\/\/beavertonmilestonehobby.com\/products\/piko-35228-g-scale-r3-left-manual-switch-22-5-degrees","provider":"Beaverton Milestone Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
