The special thing about the PIKO A-track geometry is that it gets by with very few track elements and the model railroader does not have to install compensating pieces either at turnouts or at crossings, which can always lead to an uneven running of the model railroad. The module length of 470 mm is divided in a straight line into two tracks of different lengths of 231 mm and 239 mm. This is the secret to be able to run parallel tracks over two turnouts without compensating pieces.
The PIKO A track profile is made of a high quality nickel silver alloy and is a full profile track with ideal current conducting properties even on long tracks. The spring steel rail connectors provide a durable and firm hold and ensure good current transfer at the rail joints. The sleepers are made of the high-quality plastic ABS, which is particularly characterized by high impact strength, good sound damping capacity and stress cracking resistance.
