Description
SL-U97 PECO Small Radius Y Turnout, Unifrog
PECO Streamline OO/HO CODE 100
OO/HO Small Radius Y Turnout, Unifrog
2 of these turnouts can be combined with a short crossing (SL-93) to make a compact double junction (Overall length 275mm).
The NEW Unifrog Conversion
The latest conversion to Unifrog is now available. This time we 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.
Y Turnouts are really useful track components – 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!
The Unifrog Conversion
On a Unifrog turnout the frog tip and wing rails are electrically isolated from all other rails. The turnout can be used as supplied on a DC or DCC layout without any modification, using the standard SL-10 rail joiner. If desired, the frog tip and wing rails can be powered by connecting the wire welded underneath to a changeover switch or microswitch working in unison with one of our turnout motors. Basically, as supplied the turnout operates as an Insulfrog turnout. If the frog is powered then it operates as an Electrofrog turnout. So, the best of both worlds in one unit!
