New, from the experts at RAILWAY MODELLER!

HIT TV SHOW SPECIAL, A COLLECTORS ITEM AND THE COMPANION TO SERIES 2 OF THE POPULAR CHANNEL 5 SHOW!

France is a land of rail contrasts; the popular image of a local train ambling through the countryside has long since given way to the smart, speedy TVG.

In places the landscape required impressive feats of civil engineering, even on the secondary routes, which meandered cross-country between the busy mainlines.

Nowadays unique tourist railways add to the appeal.

Here is just a small selection to inform and inspire.

Code 55

Use SL-310 metal joiners and SL-1208 joining sleepers. Use SL-311 insulating joiners to create isolated track sections (if using DCC control these are not required).

One of the great advantages of TT:120 is that the 12mm gauge track correctly scales out as standard (4' 8.5") gauge, as used all over Britain's railway network. The ingenious rail section of PECO code 55 combines strength and durability with a highly realistic appearance – In TT:120 the visible height of the rail correctly represents 113lb flat bottom rail. The flexible sleeper base is detailed with fine wood grain and spikes through British Railways’ BR1 baseplates under the rails, a combination that continues to be widely used on Britain’s railways.

204mm track feed wires ready soldered to rail joiners. Quick and easy to use, avoids the risk of damage to sleepers from soldering irons. Easily extended using PL-39 Terminal Blocks and PL-38 Red and Black wire. 4 pairs per pack.

The Pecoscene Static Grass range enables modellers to produce realistic fields, grassed areas, moorlands and embankments. The Static Grass Applicators PSG-1 and 2 electrostatically charge the grass filaments so that they stand vertically, regardless of the terrain. Mixing various lengths and colours of grasses can produce highly realistic textures and effects. Our Shows You How Booklet No 13 Detailing the Landscape and Youtube video clips show the effects that can be created.

The Smartswitch(TM) system can be used to operate turnouts, semaphore signals, level crossing gates and barriers and other moving features. This Servo can be used in conjunction with the PLS-120 Control Board. Watch the videos to see the potential uses and ease of installation of this system and see our Shows You How booklet No. 24 Operating Points and Signals.

Concrete sleeper track has been in use on the railways of Britain since around 1940, usually combined with wooden sleeper turnouts and crossings, and this track is a faithful representation of this design.

If you wish to mix wheel standards on your 00/H0 layout, this is the trackage to choose. Code 100 rail allows flange depths up to 1.6mm which means that both vintage and current stock will run happily together. 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.

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).

The Pecoscene Static Grass range enables modellers to produce realistic fields, grassed areas, moorlands and embankments. The Static Grass Applicators PSG-1, 2 and 3 electrostatically charge the grass filaments so that they stand vertically, regardless of the terrain. The PSG-1 applicator is designed for creating medium to large areas, such as lawns, fields, moorlands etc. Mixing various lengths and colours of grasses can produce highly realistic textures and effects. Our Shows You How Booklet No 13 Detailing the Landscape and Youtube video clips show the effects that can be created.

This pack includes:

• 6 x ST-1 Standard Straights
• 3 x ST-11 Double Straights
• 5 x ST-3 1st Radius Standard Curves
• 6 x ST-12 1st Radius Double Curves
• 1 x ST-5 Right Hand Turnout
• 1 x ST-6 Left Hand Turnout
• 2 x ST-8 Buffer Stops
• 2 x ST-9 Power Connecting Clips

PECO Setrack N Gauge Code 80 - Unit trackage System
The high quality rigid unit trackage system suitable for all popular brands of N gauge model trains.
Being fully compatible with both Code 80 and Code 55 PECO Streamline, it need never be discarded as your layout develops.
The solid nickel silver rails are integrally moulded into the sleeper bases for maximum realism and strength. Turnouts are fitted with an over-centre spring for immediate use, no extra levers necessary.

For use between sections of Code 100 and Code 75 track, so for example could be used to incorporate a Code 75 Asymmetric 3- way Turnout (SL-E199) into a Code 100 layout, or to connect a Code 100 Streamline or Setrack 'fiddle yard' to a Code 75 scenic section.

Normally conductive; although the electrical connections between the 2 rail types can be cut to provide an electrical break. Supplied in a pack of 4.

Bullhead track has been in use on the railways since the earliest times, and is still very much in evidence today. This flexible track provides a highly detailed and faithful 00 scale replication of this long standing feature of Britain's railways.

Our SL-114 Bullhead Rail Joiners include bolt detail and therefore complement the fine detail of this track range.

These finely detailed ready to run coaches and wagons are accurately modelled on the rolling stock of the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, both as an independent railway and after its' absorption into the Southern railway in 1922. They are also available painted but unlettered for those modellers who wish to tailor them for use on other lines.

The Ffestiniog Railway, located in North Wales, is the world’s oldest surviving independent railway company, founded in 1832. Originally built to transport slate from the quarries of Blaenau Ffestiniog to the port at Porthmadog, it was engineered with a unique narrow gauge of just 1 ft 11½ in (597 mm), ideal for winding through the rugged Snowdonia landscape. Innovative features included gravity-powered slate trains running downhill and horses hauling the wagons back uphill.

In the 1860s, steam locomotives were introduced, making the Ffestiniog the first narrow-gauge railway in the world to successfully use them. After declining slate demand led to closure in 1946, dedicated volunteers began restoring the line in the 1950s. Today, it runs as a popular heritage railway, linking Porthmadog to Blaenau Ffestiniog once again, and is celebrated for its pioneering engineering, scenic beauty, and remarkable preservation story.

These latest PECO train packs celebrate that legacy with attention to authenticity and a passion for detail.
