Peco SL-U97 OO Gauge Code 100 Small Radius Y Unifrog Point
he latest conversion to Unifrog is now available. This time Peco 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. We have a number of SL-97 and SL-E97 Y turnouts on backorder so we will convert those orders into SL-U97 orders, unless you request otherwise. The good news is that despite being produced from new tooling we have held the price of this turnout to match that of the SL-E97!
Y Turnouts are really useful track components and maybe modellers do not fully appreciate their value, their main benefit being as 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. Ideal when building small loco yards and goods sidings. It’s what the real railways would have done after all
