Peco produces a very large variety of switch
sizes and rail sizes. The track systems are durable and will last for many years of
operation. Peco switches are known for there positive motion that keeps the point
rails (the rails that move) tight against the main rails. This feature insures your
trains will not derail or pick the switch. The switch points are spring loaded, so
when you move the switch to either the siding or the main line the spring will hold the
rails securely in place. We have tried many other brands of track systems on our
layouts and have been extremely satisfied with both the quality, durability and variety
available from Peco.
Peco track is engineered to British Railroad
standards, you will notice a very slight difference in the tie spacing from American tie
spacing. Once you have laid the track and put the ballast in place the difference is
hardly noticeable.
