Roco 42535 — H-switch WR 15 right

The Roco 42535 represents a standard right-hand turnout (WR 15) utilized in European permanent way engineering, modeled after the high-speed and mainline track geometries common to administrations such as the Deutsche Bahn (DB) and Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB). In real-world railway operations, 15-degree turnouts are essential components of station throats and passing loops, designed to balance spatial efficiency with the stability required for modern rolling stock. This track geometry is representative of standard wood-sleeper construction utilized from Era III through to the present day across Central Europe, providing a prototypical foundation for diverse international rail traffic.

This HO scale (1:87) model is part of the Roco Line system featuring integrated rubber-ballast bedding, engineered for both acoustic insulation and visual realism. The turnout features a precision-profiled nickel-silver rail with a 2.1 mm (Code 83) height, ensuring optimal electrical conductivity and compatibility with fine-scale wheelsets. The unit measures 230 mm in length with a branch radius of 873.5 mm (R10), maintaining the geometric integrity of the Roco Line grid. It is equipped with a manual throw mechanism and is pre-configured for seamless integration with Roco’s under-ballast electric motors or digital turnout decoders for advanced layout automation.
