The Piko 35228 G Scale Manual Switch Left R3 is a compact turnout designed for tighter curves and efficient routing in medium-radius layouts. With a 920mm radius (R3), this left-hand manual switch is ideal for sidings, loops, and yard configurations. It features solid brass rails mounted to UV-resistant plastic ties and includes a manual throw mechanism for dependable control.

This switch is perfect for garden railways, indoor layouts, or modular setups where space-saving and realism are important. The brass rails offer excellent conductivity and resist corrosion, while the molded ties maintain structural integrity in outdoor conditions. Whether you're building a compact yard or a scenic branch line, this turnout adds flexibility and operational realism.

Piko switches are engineered in Germany for mechanical precision and long-term durability. The manual throw is smooth and responsive, and the geometry matches standard G Scale track for seamless integration.
