Modelled from American Railroad Engineering Association (AREA) plans and conforming to NMRA turnout design standards, Peco's code 83 range of points and crossings follow prototype geometry. The close-spaced sleepers (ties) feature wood grain effect, tie plate and spike detailing to represent typical American railroading practice. Incorporating years of experience in the manufacture of dependable and durable model railway track this is a welcome addition to Peco's range. All code 83 turnouts are DCC friendly.
Unifrog points feature metal crossing V 'frog' units, which are insulated, but can easily be connected to a polarity switch or DCC auto-frog unit to convert them to live or electrofrog for optimal current collection.
Due to the use of prototypical geomtery the diverging angle for each frog number is different. The No.6 diamond crossing will match with No.6 points only.
Templates for Peco points are available from the Peco website.
