RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted December 28, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 28, 2016 Hi all Does the Peco Code 100 range have a 914mm curve in it? Ive had a quick search and couldnt find one anywhere. Just wondering if I will have to make my own from flexi track. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozexpatriate Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Does the Peco Code 100 range have a 914mm curve in it? Ive had a quick search and couldnt find one anywhere. Just wondering if I will have to make my own from flexi track. Radius or diameter? I was under the impression that Peco Setrack used identical geometries to Hornby. The Hornby radii are: 1st - 371 mm 2nd - 438 mm 3rd - 505 mm 4th - 572 mm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted December 28, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 28, 2016 Sorry yes I'm looking for a 914mm diameter curve. I'm assuming I will have to use flexibtrack and custom cut it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium phil-b259 Posted December 28, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 28, 2016 Radius or diameter? I was under the impression that Peco Setrack used identical geometries to Hornby. The Hornby radii are: 1st - 371 mm 2nd - 438 mm 3rd - 505 mm 4th - 572 mm ALL OO/HO 'Setrack' - whether produced by Hornby, Bachmann or Peco follows the above standards and is fully compatible with each other.

Ive had a quick search and couldnt find one anywhere. Just wondering if I will have to make my own from flexi track. Cheers Peco 'code 100' does not feature pre-curved track, the intention being (as with 'code 75' or 'code 83' that modellers will bend flexitrack to suit their requirements). Pre curved tack is referred to as 'Setrack' and comes from a variety of manufactures - and although it features the same rail section as Peco's 'code 100' range meaning the two can be combined, the geometry of the points in each range and the resultant spacing when double track is formed from them will be different.

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted December 28, 2016 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted December 28, 2016 Ok thanks guys. Custom flexi track cutting it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabag Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 There is a 914 mm Tracksetta curve you could use to help get the radius correct with flexi track. Available from most model shops. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butler Henderson Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 For anyone with reasons for not wanting to use flex Roco have a number of large radius set track curves. 42426 604.4mm radius 30 degree angle 42427 826.4mm radius 15 degree angle 42428 888mm radius 15 degree angle 42430 1962mm radius 5 degree angle Gaugemaster have them all at £2.30, £2.05 for 42430.

Tiptonian Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Shinohara make Code 100 in eleven different radii from 406mm to 914mm radius, including the 457mm (914mm diameter) that you require. Here are a few links giving details. http://www.bergshobbies.com.au/details.php?d=49 http://www.scalelink.co.uk/acatalog/Shinohara_Rigid_Curved_Track__HO_OO__Code_100.html http://www.cchobbies.com/track/shinoharacode100.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Within the Hornby range there is also the R628 curve designed to go with their Y point. It has a radius of 852mm and arc 11.25°. http://www.Hornby.com/uk-en/curve-for-use-with-y-points.html Cheers, Tom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
frobisher Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Within the Hornby range there is also the R628 curve designed to go with their Y point. It has a radius of 852mm and arc 11.25°. Peco also have this curve in their Setrack range (ST-238 Special Curve or ST-2038 Special Curves (two)) and Bachmann (36-628 Single Curve Large Radius 852mm Arc 11.25). The Bachmann ones are made from the former Hornby tooling that stayed with Roco in Austria when Hornby moved production to China. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
