Peco Curved Turnout

[Schraddel]

Gus!

My expierences with this Peco #7 curved switches:


Outside radius is large enough to generate a acceptable look when locos of this size (2-6-6-2 USRA) are passing.

But the inner radius only switchers and small sized steamers should ride there. Even a Mikado looks strained there.


But when you have steamers with flangeless wheels, you better buy the electrofrog version.
The flangeless drivers can cause short circuits by bridging the insulated gaps.
In this case of an insulfrog Peco #7, pictured above, i have had to rebuild the frog in situ to electrofrog configuration.
