Pick up goods Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Hi Wondering if some one could give me some advise please. I'm looking at using Peco code 75 points with SMP track for my current layout, but I've noticed a slight height difference, Peco point track is slightly higher. I've been able to make up the difference by using a thin piece of plasticard tucked under the SMP track at the intersection. Would this be good practise? or are the two not compatible?

Ben Alder Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Used Code 75 points with C&L track for years - no problems. Bit of packing as required , I can't see SMP being any different. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBRJ Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) That may depend on the C&L sleeper thickness. The now seemingly not available flexi track with thick sleepers matched Peco Perfectly. The thin sleepers (which do match SMP!) do need some packing; thats what thin card is for .... Edited July 20, 2020 by LBRJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pick up goods Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 I must have the thin sleeper variant, so I will carry on packing! thanks for your response. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Alder Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 The new bullhead ones? Yes two in the yard and I am in the process of laying three at the throat, but have ot distracted by a combination of two loco might have beens and some HR laser cut building kits. Here is a shot of the bullhead sin the yard, with C&L track. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Alder Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) Thanks - yes, it is. Here is a link to from start onwards. My approach to the track can be seen in the early stages of the build from the link in the first post or from the links in my signature .
