All-New Tooling Wagons

PECO is pleased to announce the release of five new N Gauge Wagon liveries, to bring some added character to customers' layouts. Once common on the post-war British Railway network, these 4-wheel vans carried a wide variety of goods throughout the system. No longer in service they remain an iconic wagon type so typical of the railway scene from the 1950s to the 1980s and modellers will find a home for several on their layouts.

All of the new-tooling ready-to-run wagons from PECO feature some very fine moulding detail, sharp and precise application of the liveries, detachable couplers and metal-tyred running wheels. Best of all, they are the best value on the market compared to the alternatives available!

These colourful liveries have been staples of the PECO range for years and remain some of the most popular models in the whole range.

The NEW Laser-Cut West Bay OO Station Building

PECO is happy to present one of its new laser-cut station buildings, along with detailed interior that can be removed and re-inserted, to add lighting and other detail. This is a typical stone-built branch line station building, in this case based in West Bay in Dorset. The prototype was opened in 1984 as the new terminus of the extended Bridport railway, operated initially by the Great Western Railway and from 1948, British Railways Western region. It closed in 1962, but the building has been renovated and is now in use as a lounge bar and waiting room for a restaurant on adjoining carriages, called the Station Kitchen.

This kit comes with some plastic components to complete the model and includes a full interior detail, which can be removed to add LED lighting should this be required.

As with the PECO Streamline track system we use the unique double-foot Code 55 rail for robustness, and also for the finer appearance of the track. This means that both Setrack and Streamline can be connected together. We have started with just the one radius, no. 2, at 310mm/12.2in., and the length of the medium radius Streamline turnout (SLU1295 and SLU1296) is the same as one standard and one small straight section. That will allow a siding to be inserted into a loop of the Setrack using the Streamline turnout without upsetting the geometry. Modellers should use the PL82 Pecolectrics Power Feed Joiners to connect power to the track: the joiners at one end of two pieces of track can easily be pulled off to allow the Power Feed Joiners to connect up. All Setrack products are supplied in hanging packs containing either 4 or 8 pieces and sold to you in singles.

Based on the buildings at the Ffestiniog Railway Boston Lodge base in Porthmadog, North Wales, these two new kits perfectly complement our OO-9 scale rolling stock, and of course, the Small and Large Engine locomotives. Produced from fine plywood sheets the kits feature some very exquisite texture detailing replicating either the stone or corrugated iron  finish. Both kits include some interior detail such as roof bracing.

The corrugated iron building, LK220, which at Boston Lodge sits alongside the older stone building, is a simpler single-track structure but again can also be built single or double-ended and with or without the chimneys. Footprint 167 x 64mm.

Based on the buildings at the Ffestiniog Railway Boston Lodge base in Porthmadog, North Wales, these two new kits perfectly complement our OO-9 scale rolling stock, and of course, the Small and Large Engine locomotives. Produced from fine plywood sheets the kits feature some very exquisite texture detailing replicating either the stone or corrugated iron  finish. Both kits include some interior detail such as roof bracing.

The stone engine shed kit LK219 has two alternative roofs, depending on whether the modeller wishes to use the chimneys and roof vents, and this kit also includes a separate and authentic FR disc signal. The shed can also be built single or double-ended. Footprint 167 x 97mm.

It is important to note that the PECO Tools PT30 is specially formulated to be applied to dry ballast, and requires a particular technique for application to ensure successful results.

Once the track has been laid, the ballast is firmed around the sleepers, ensuring that it neatly settles in and does not interfere with any moving parts. Once the desired effect has been achieved the modeller then applies the glue, using a glue applicator such as a pipette or syringe, along the centre line of the track, between the rails. Further applications of the glue are then made outside of the rails, and along the shoulder, but in all instances what you don't need to do is to saturate the track and ballast, as is often the case with other types of glue.  It's more of a case of "Precision Gluing"! It is a thicker glue than the watered-down PVA often used, so will first sit on top of the ballast. But over time it will disperse within the ballast particles and reach outwards towards the ballast shoulder. After a minimum period of 24 hours the glue will have dried and hardened, fixing the ballast firmly in place, although it is possible that some small areas may need further glue application where necessary. 

The attraction of this glue is that it is ready-made, not needing to be mixed, watered-down, or have additional additives put in such as washing up liquid. It comes in a convenient and handy 500ml bottle with a screw top, supplied in singles and available now from stock.
