The NEW West Highland Line Platform Shelter Laser-Cut Kit

The NEW West Highland laser-cut wood kits, all based on buildings on the existing West Highland Line extension between Fort William and Mallaig in Scotland. In fact Arisaig station was the inspiration for these attractive models, a delightful station on a very scenic and popular route, famous for many reasons but likely to be moist memorable for its role in the Harry Potter films. It is a route that has become a firm favourite with modellers so these kits will certainly be welcomed by many and be the inspiration for a number of new layout builds for sure.

Built by the North British Railway, the West Highland Line travelled through a stunning part of the country and soon became popular with tourists as well as providing an essential link to the outside world from the sparsely populated Highland areas. The station buildings are particularly attractive and our kit of the station at Arisaig personifies that appealing design.

The NEW Rannoch Station Wooden Laser-Cut Kit

The style of Rannoch Station building, built in 1894, is typical of the type of structure found on the North British-built line from Glasgow to Fort William. Sitting on an island platform this is a long building, so consequently the model created from this kit is certainly impressive! By contrast the platform-mounted signal box is quite diminutive when compared with the station, but both structures possess the stylish "Swiss Cottage" style of construction and consequently are very attractive.

Despite its size we have designed the station kit to be as easy to construct as possible, with carefully designed parts that fit snuggly together and the assembly instructions are clear and informative. It would not surprise us if the signal box kit is adapted for other uses, such as a shelter, tea room, waiting room or greenhouse: it has many possibilities! The kits feature some incredible detail and texture, something that we have been working really hard to achieve - so much better than the basic appearance of so many other laser cut kits available on the market.

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.

The NEW TT:120 Laser-Cut Wooden Platform Shelter.

A craft knife, needle files, glue (impact adhesive or PVA work well. Superglue can also be used apart from the glazing) and paints are required.

The platform shelter model replicates a typical style constructed, appropriately, in wood.

The lineside hut kits contains components for two buildings. Carefully designed and thought through, these kits are a delight to build.

 

Designed for modellers to give access to awkward corners of the layout, the NEW PECOscene Pro-Grass Detailer Applicator is a great addition to the range. Featuring a comfortable handle to hold and a long, slender neck to reach into cramped areas of the layout with ease, the applicator makes the addition of static grass around structures and track so much easier to achieve. Conveniently, the applicator is also supplied with two interchangeable sieve heads - one flared, the other straight, both of which can accommodate up to 6mm static grass fibres, and give the modeller options when deciding how much coverage is required. Powered by a 9v battery (not included), the applicator switch also lights up to indicate when power is on, a useful reminder! 

Our 'Shows You How' Booklet No 13 Detailing the Landscape and Youtube video clips show the effects that can be created.

The PECO Streamline OO Bullhead track range has shaped up to be a very comprehensive system comprising flexible track, bullhead joiners, buffer stop, large radius and medium radius turnouts , a crossing and two slips. There's enough there already for modellers to build a truly authentic steam to diesel transition period layout.

Wenn Sie auf Ihrer 00/H0-Anlage verschiedene Radstandards verwenden möchten, ist dies die richtige Gleisanlage. Die Code 100-Schiene ermöglicht Flanschtiefen von bis zu 1,6 mm, was bedeutet, dass sowohl Vintage- als auch aktuelle Lager problemlos zusammenpassen.

Das breite Sortiment an Weichen und Kreuzungen dieser Serie umfasst alle Arten von Weichen und Kreuzungen. Die Geometrie dieser Serie wurde geschickt entwickelt, um den Bau bequemer, komplexer und ästhetisch ansprechender Formationen durch Kombinationen von Weichen und Kreuzungen mit kleinem, mittlerem und großem Radius zu erleichtern. Vorschläge für Lagepläne finden Sie in unseren Veröffentlichungen „Gleispläne für Anlagen für alle Standorte“ (Ref. PM-202), „60 Pläne für kleine Eisenbahnen“ (Ref. Nr. PB-3) und „Gleispläne für verschiedene Standorte“ ( Ref. Nr. PB-66).

Alle Eisenbahnunternehmen verfügten über einen eigenen Bestand an Fahrzeugen für den Transport von Gütern und Gütern innerhalb ihres Streckennetzes und bei Bedarf auch auf die Strecken anderer Unternehmen. Diese wurden bei der Verstaatlichung in die British Railways integriert; Einige von ihnen sollten im Zuge der Sektorisierung noch einmal neu gestaltet werden, da das Netzwerk darauf vorbereitet war, wieder in Privatbesitz überzugehen. Alle Peco-Wagen verfügen über freilaufende Räder mit Steckachsen. Die ELC-Kupplung ist zwar mit den Standard-N-Spur-Kupplungen kompatibel, sorgt jedoch für einen realistischen Abstand zwischen den Fahrzeugen und ermöglicht die Verwendung des elektromagnetischen Entkopplers PL-25 zum Fernabkuppeln.
