Small symmetrical short turnout code 75 Peco SLE197 Electrofrog with a length of 148 mm, an angle of 24° and a deflection radius of 610 mm.
The Peco track brand offers a wide range of track for building a model train layout.
The UK company is known for its 100 and 75code HO 1/87th scale track.
The track sections are made of maillechort (an alloy of copper and brass), materials offering very high electrical conductivity and not oxidising (easier rail cleaning).
Peco's HO 1/87th scale turnouts are available in two technologies:Insulfrog and Electrofrog.
The Insulfrog models have a&strong>plastic core point (and therefore not electrically powered). These turnouts are recommended for model railway systems in analogue operation (conventional power supply via a transformer).
The Electrofrog models have a metallic core point (allowing better current pick-up from the locomotives). As a result, at low speeds, the locomotives run more smoothly. These turnouts are recommended for model train networks in digital operation (power supply by digital control unit).
The points deflection system allows the turnout to be motorised with several types of motor:
A table-top motor reference Peco PL11 which is placed next to the turnout on the track plan.
An under-table motor reference Peco PL1000/PL1001 which is placed below the layout support for discreet installation.
Peco straight turnouts in HO 1/87th scale come in three lengths: short, medium and long.
