PECO SL-U77 (HO) Code 100 Curved Turnout, Small Radius, Left

PECO Streamline OO/HO CODE 100

Curved Turnout, Small Radius, Right Hand

Adapted from the existing PECO Setrack Curved turnout, this brand-new development allows a useful component into the classic Streamline OO/HO Code 100 range. At last a tighter radius turnout for Streamline users, something that has been requested on and off for a long time.

Curved turnouts are fantastic space savers and their benefits are often overlooked. Given that so many layouts are built to be in small spaces the use of curved turnouts ought to be greater than it is, so these new Streamline turnouts may well address many concerns that modelers have when planning their model railway.

This turnout has been derived from the existing Setrack curved turnout. The geometry departs from the common frog angle adopted by the Streamline system (which is based on a common frog angle of 12 degrees) - this turnout has a 11.25 degree frog angle and the inner radius is just 438mm, or 17.2 inches. This should not be seen as any disadvantage and the real benefit is that they will allow much tighter access where it is needed, such as in restricted places where a layout must loop around into a fiddle yard, for example. The standard Streamline curved turnout has a minimum inside radius of 762mm, 30 inches, so the difference is quite clear to see.
