- Shares the same geometry as the existing Streamline Code 100, 75 flat bottom tracks systems
- Compatible with existing Bullhead system
- Uses standard SL-110 Code 75 rail joiner or the SL-114 Bullhead rail joiner
- Length 185mm
- Radius 610mm
- Frog angle 12 degrees
- Unifrog
- High quality nickel silver rail for all rail parts, for optimal electrical conductivity
- An excellent track component where space restrictions prevent standard turnouts being used.

Fotografische Hintergrundkulisse im Flusstal
Wir freuen uns, Ihnen unser neues fotografisches Backscene-Sortiment vorstellen zu können. Das erste ist eine Flusstalszene, die auf dem River Axe in Devon basiert. Die drei separaten Platten werden in einem Rohr mit quadratischem Querschnitt geliefert und passen perfekt zusammen, um eine durchgehende Bahn von 2400 mm (95 Zoll) und einer Höhe von 333 mm (13 Zoll) zu bilden. Zukünftige Hinterszenen werden an beiden Enden übereinstimmen, was längere Szenenläufe über die gesamte Länge einer Anlage ermöglicht.

Flexibles Gleis mit Betonschwelle
Dieses Gleis ist ein Modell der heute in Großbritannien am häufigsten verwendeten Form von Betonschwellen mit einer Schiene mit flachem Boden. PECO Streamline Spur N Code 55 – Universelles Feingleissystem
Trotz einer geringen sichtbaren Schienenhöhe von nur 1,4 mm können Modelllokomotiven der Spur N aller Marken auf diesem Gleis fahren.
Der ausgeklügelte Schienenabschnitt von PECO 55 kombiniert Stärke und Haltbarkeit mit einem äußerst realistischen Aussehen und verwendet die gleichen universellen Schienenverbinder wie Code 80. Dieses Gleis ist ein Modell der heute in Großbritannien am häufigsten verwendeten Form von Betonschwellen mit einer Schiene mit flachem Boden. Die Geometrie dieser Serie wurde clever gestaltet, um den Bau bequemer, komplexer und ästhetisch ansprechender Formationen zu erleichtern. Weitere Einzelheiten zu Electrofrog-Weichen finden Sie in unseren Veröffentlichungen „Wiring the Layout“ Nr. 4 und 21.

Mit Tracksetta können Sie sicherstellen, dass Ihre Geraden wirklich gerade und Ihre Kurven glatt sind, ohne Knicke oder plötzliche Richtungsänderungen, die Entgleisungen unvermeidlich machen. Diese einfachen, aber effektiven Werkzeuge sind eine lohnende Investition, da eine gut verlegte Strecke für einen zuverlässigen Betrieb unerlässlich ist.

NEW China Clay Hood Wagon, OOV B743010
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.

FR Long 'Bowsider' Coach - Colonel Stephens No.20
The Ffestiniog Railway operated two pairs of bogie coaches numbered 17-20 and built by Brown Marshalls & Co and Gloucester Wagon Co. They were known as ‘Bowsiders’ because of the tumblehome shape of their sides. Numbers 17 and 18, built in 1876 are shorter with one 1st class compartment. Numbers 19 and 20, built in 1879 are longer with two 1st class compartments. All four are still in service on the Ffestiniog Railway today.
In the 1920s the elaborate liveries of the Victorian era were replaced with a simple scheme of green with red end panels. It became known as the ‘Colonel Stephens’ livery, after the General Manager of the Ffestiniog Railway from 1925 until his passing in 1931. The colour scheme was used until the end of passenger operations in 1939, sometimes alongside other colours such as yellow, in the mid 1930s.
Green with red ends was applied to carriage No.20 once again from 2005 until 2024, as depicted by GR-623B.

The red and cream livery was first applied to a rake of carriages in 1987 for the ‘Mountain Prince’ train service. Carriage 20 was the first Bowsider to appear in the livery.
Carriages 17 and 18 had cream applied to the full upper half of the carriage. 17 had the mouldings reinstated in 1990 as depicted by GR-602A. 18 continued to have cream across the upper half throughout its time in the scheme, as represented by GR-602B. Note the ‘Brown Marshalls & Co. Ltd’ builders plate printed on the ends of the carriage.
All four Bowsiders were repainted into historic liveries in the 2000s, but the red and cream colour scheme is still seen today on the more modern carriages

13-Tonnen-Stahlkörpertrichter (LNER) der British Railways
Über 2.600 dieser Waggons wurden zwischen 1949 und 1953 für den Einsatz bei der British Railways gebaut. Sie wurden zum Synonym für die Nordostregion, wo auf dem Güterbahnhof des Bahnhofs üblicherweise Kohleabwurfmulden aufgestellt waren, weshalb ein Trichter mit Bodenentleerung die naheliegendste Variante war benutzen. Obwohl sie für den Transport von Kohle gedacht waren, verbreiteten sie sich im späteren Leben zunehmend im Vereinigten Königreich und wurden für den Transport anderer Materialien wie Stein und Sand verwendet. Die letzten Exemplare blieben bis Anfang der 1980er Jahre im Einsatz.

Der Bausatz besteht aus einer Bekohlungsstufe, einem Wasserturm mit Kran und einem Hebezeug zum Verladen der Kohle. Dieses Modell und der Lokschuppen-Bausatz (Ref. 522) bilden einen guten Ausgangspunkt für jede Anlage, die Dampfmaschinenanlagen benötigt. Die Pecoscene Real Coal-Reihe (PS-330–332) bietet die perfekte Ergänzung, ebenso wie die Pecoscene Ash- und Cinder Scatter-Materialien (PS-320–322). Eine Inspektionsgrube (Peco LK-56/156) war ebenfalls üblich. Wird mit vorgefärbten Teilen geliefert, obwohl Lackierung und/oder Verwitterung für mehr Realismus sorgen können (siehe Pecoscene Weathering Powder PS-362 Coal Dust); Zur Fertigstellung dieses Modells ist Kleber erforderlich. Stellfläche: 140 mm x 80 mm
