Peco SL-U97 Small Radius Y Turnout, Unifrog - OO Gauge

£1575


Description

The NEW Peco 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 is that they are 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. This is 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 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!

Technical Specification:

  • Exit Angle: 24 Degrees
