Additional Details:
This may be an unfamiliar style of track, but this design is common in some locations on the continent, especially France. However, this design is also found on the latest High Speed 1 route in Kent, and will probably be used on other similar speed lines in the future. So we are keeping up with trends by offering this latest addition to the range, and modellers can run their Hornby Class395 "Javelin" EMU's on some prototypical track! The main feature to observe is the unusual design of the sleepers, which are basically two concrete blocks linked by a steel shaft, generally L-section in profile on the prototype. Having said that, once the track is ballasted the steel bar is often covered, as illustrated.

Peco's new track is a faithful representation of this track design, with finely moulded rail fixings and the characteristic shape of the sleeper produced in a grey plastic. Once laid and weathered it will look very effective. Code 75 nickel silver rail ensures a fine look and provide good electrical properties.

An unusual but necessary addition to the growing range of OO/HO code 75 flexible track, and one that will be of particular interest to modellers in France and other continental modellers.
