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.

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.

The familiar Rugga V-Skip 'tipping' wagon design was introduced in the 1930s - a development of the Robert Hudson company, based in Leeds. They could be supplied to the customer's specific requirements, with a skip size ranging from 13.5 to 54 cubic feet (0.38 to 1.53 cubic metres), and in most track gauges. The design allows the skip to tip in either direction, perfect for small industrial railways that needed to move and unload materials quickly and efficiently. The company even boasted that at any one time several thousand could be supplied from stock! These are supplied in an attractive display box of three.

This style of modern seating is prevalent across all stations in the UK now, and no doubt they can be found elsewhere around the world. In N scale the kit is a one-piece moulding. The seats are mounted into the platform surface once a small hole has been drilled to accept the seat supports. Each pack contains 12 seats.

This style of modern seating is prevalent across all stations in the UK now, and no doubt they can be found elsewhere around the world. In OO/HO scale the kits comprise of two parts that need to be glued together. The modeller will need to paint them, and there are a number of colour options suitable, according to their location. The seats are mounted into the platform surface once a small hole has been drilled to accept the seat supports. Each pack contains 12 seats.

The NEW Unifrog Conversion

The latest conversion to Unifrog is now available. This time we have updated the Streamline OO/HO scale Code 100 Small Radius "Y" turnout to conform to this new format. Produced from brand new tooling this replaced the former Insulfrog and Electrofrog SL-97 and SL-E97 (both of these are now discontinued and out of stock).

Y Turnouts are really useful track components - their main benefit being as great space-savers. By combining the Y with the short crossing you can create a tight radius double junction and using several Ys together allows you to fit more routes in a restricted space. Ideal when building small loco yards and goods sidings. It's what the real railways would have done after all! 

The Unifrog Conversion

On a Unifrog turnout the frog tip and wing rails are electrically isolated from all other rails. The turnout can be used as supplied on a DC or DCC layout without any modification, using the standard SL-10 rail joiner. If desired, the frog tip and wing rails can be powered by connecting the wire welded underneath to a changeover switch or microswitch working in unison with one of our turnout motors. Basically, as supplied the turnout operates as an Insulfrog turnout. If the frog is powered then it operates as an Electrofrog turnout. So, the best of both worlds in one unit!

All-New Tooling Wagons

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.

The bauxite version of this wagon represents a slightly later period in the wagons life, whilst the black NCB version represents the wagons it it appeared once sold-on for internal use at various coal mine sites.

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!
