Hello everyone,
all my apologies if si question has been asked too many times before.
Can I run my "standard" Hornby stock on the Peco code 75 track without any issues ? Many thanks in advance for your time and for all your replies.

Re: Peco code 75 track
All new Hornby/Bachmann/Dapol etc OO stock will run on code 75. Older items pre 1990's may have problems due to their deeper wheel flanges.
TBH I cant see any reason to use code 75 which is more difficult to work with due to the thinner rail, when code 100 laid correctly and painted looks okay.

I use code 100 which I find robust and as stated before, looks good when ballasted and weathered.
Re: Peco code 75 track
While Code 100 does the job, Peco code 75 does have some different turnout formations. As we know Peco 75 & 100 are not to UK appearance so if one wanted more variety in turnouts types, use Tillig.

I used Code 75 on Wykeham - I had no problems, but in all honesty, once painted and ballasted, it difficult to see the difference.
