How to Build a Wye Junction with Märklin C-Track – Using 3 Turnouts

Описание: Video in German:    • Märklin Gleisdreieck bauen – So funktionie...  
Want to build a wye junction with Märklin C-Track? In this video, we’ll show you exactly how to create a compact triangle layout using three left-hand turnouts and short curved track sections – all while avoiding the typical short-circuit issues that occur with 2-rail systems.
_____
🔧 This is what you learn.
▰ Step-by-step construction of a Märklin wye using 3x 24611 turnouts
▰ How to use Radius 1 curves (24130) and short Radius 2 curves (24206)
▰ Why the 3-rail system from Märklin avoids electrical polarity conflicts
▰ Where to find the track numbers (molded underneath each track piece)
▰ How the geometry fits perfectly thanks to the built-in C-Track system design
_____
💡 Technical advantage: In most 2-rail systems, a wye causes a short circuit unless complex reversing modules are added. With Märklin’s center conductor system, that’s not an issue – making the wye a simple and elegant solution for reversing or branching.

📐 Track pieces featured:
▰ Turnouts: 3x left-hand (24611)
▰ Curves: Radius 1 (24130) and Radius 2 short (24206)
▰ Everything fits geometrically without needing custom cuts

✅ You’ll also see how the plan looks in the Märklin layout planning software – ideal for visualizing and expanding from each end of the triangle.
