Manufacturer description

PECO Streamline OO/HO CODE 75

Flexible Track, Steel Sleeper

Steel sleeper track is not a recent innovation, having been introduced in the late 19th Century. It proved particularly useful in places such as India and Africa where wooden sleepers could be attacked by termites. Our model is of the modern style, which was brought into use here in Britain in the late 1980's, and features flat bottom rail with Pandrol fixings.

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. For more details on Electrofrog turnouts, see our Wiring the Layout publications Nos 4 and 21.

Catalogue listing

PECO Flexible Track, Steel Sleeper – Part number SL‑104F. The section is 914 mm long and is supplied for OO/HO scale model railways, using Code 75 flat‑bottom rail with Pandrol fixings.

Steel sleeper track was first introduced in the late 19th century, principally for use in regions such as India and Africa where wooden sleepers were vulnerable to termites. The modern version, adopted in Britain in the late 1980s, retains the robust steel sleeper while providing a low‑profile rail that is compatible with contemporary wheel profiles. Users of vintage stock should note that some deep‑flanged wheels may not clear the rail fixings.

The track conforms to the standards favoured by enthusiasts who run trains on scale‑height rail. It can be joined to Code 100 track by using the SL‑113 Transition Track. A full range of turnouts and crossings is available, designed to enable the construction of complex and visually pleasing layouts. Accessories include SL‑110 conducting rail joiners (nickel‑silver), SL‑111 insulated rail joiners and SL‑14 chemically blackened mild‑steel fixing pins for discreetly securing the trackwork.
