RMweb Gold Dagworth Posted November 18, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 18, 2022 I'm told by two different model shops that Peco are no longer making SL102 concrete sleeper track, replacing it with the (admittedly much nicer) SL103 version. Annoying though to only find out half way through building a BIG project. I'm not wanting to change type half way as it will make the 102 look poorer.

Dungrange Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 KMS Railtec seem to have still have SL102 in stock (or at least their website allows me to add 50 lengths to my basket). https://www.kmsrailtech.co.uk/peco/3249-sl-102-code-100-concrete-sleeper-track-box-of-25-5050881035207.html I guess you need to stock up on what you need whilst you still can. I hadn't realised that the SL-102 was being discontinued. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEAMYAKIMA Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Just seen this. Can someone post photos of sl-102 and sl-103 so I can see the difference. Many thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks. I have no photos to hand but I can explain: The pandrol clips are a finer shape but the most noticeable difference is DOW-MAC embossed on the sleepers. The code 75 product has not been introduced yet. I expect this is because the tooling is less worn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold griffgriff Posted April 29, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 29, 2023 I wouldn’t say nicer…. Just different. Admittedly the Dowmac sleepers look good but the Pandrols look ridiculous. The clips on the 102 are much more convincing imho. Griff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, exactly the same The pandrol version doesn't seem quite as strong, more vulnerable to damage in handling. Andi 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium uax6 Posted April 29, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 29, 2023 Looks more like the modern e-clip rather than the original pandrol clip. Whats the fixing on the original peco concrete sleepers? Andy G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
