The Piko 35224 G Scale Manual Curved Switch Left R3-R5 is a specialized turnout designed to combine two curve radii into a single left-hand switch. With a diverging path that transitions from R3 (920mm) to R5 (1240mm), this curved switch allows for elegant routing in scenic layouts and complex track plans. It features solid brass rails mounted to UV-resistant plastic ties and includes a manual throw mechanism for dependable control.

This switch is ideal for garden railways, compound curves, or indoor layouts where space-saving and realism are key. The curved geometry enables smooth transitions between track segments while maintaining consistent electrical contact. Brass rails resist corrosion, and molded ties ensure structural integrity in outdoor conditions.

Piko curved switches are engineered in Germany for mechanical precision and prototypical realism. The manual throw is smooth and responsive, and the geometry integrates seamlessly with standard G Scale track. For automation or visual enhancement, this switch supports the Piko 35271 Electric Switch Machine and 35285 Switch Stand Kit (both sold separately).
