Description
PECO STREAMLINE OO/HO CODE 75
TURNOUT, MEDIUM RADIUS, CONCRETE, LEFT HAND
These turnouts emulate the modern style of
concrete sleepered trackwork which features Pandrol (TM) style rail fixings.
Concrete sleepered turnouts had previously been impractical due to the concrete
being broken by the impact caused as wheels passed through the frog area. This
has been resolved by redesigning the frog so that the flange supports the wheel
across the gap in the running rail.
Peco Streamline Code 75 track meets the
standards of enthusiasts who prefer to run trains on scale height rail. Today
most manufacturers' wheels are suitable for use on Code 75 track but some
vintage models may have flanges which are too deep to clear the rail fixings.
Code 75 can be easily combined with code 100 track by using the SL-113
Transition Track.
The wide range of turnouts and crossings
in this series includes every type, and the geometry of this range has been
cleverly designed to make it easy to build convenient, complex and aesthetically
pleasing formations using combinations of small, medium and large radius
turnouts and crossings. Layout plans suggestions can be found in our
publications Track Plans for Layouts to Suit all Locations (Ref PM-202), 60
Plans for Small Railways (Ref no PB-3), and Track Plans for Various Locations
(Ref no PB-66).
