Model Railway Forum

I am thinking of designing in curved points to my new 00 gauge round and round layout to lengthen the loops ion the fiddle yard.

I seem to remember seeing on a forum somewhere, but I cannot find it, comments about Peco curved points v Hornby curved points.

I would be grateful to hear of anyone's personal experience in this regard, or of any other curved points for that matter.
Could be code 75 or code 100.

Many thanks

Peco every time although many will say any curved points are a mistake. I have a couple that work fine.

The very best curved points are the straight ones.
Peco large radii curved points are usually OK but they do take up a bit of room. I have an old one which has to be close to a foot long. It has a gentle curve to it and is electrofrog. (Code 100... Code 75 wasn't in the Peco range in those days). I don't know if Peco still make them as I have not noticed another in the shops. Mine was purchased secondhand. It worked well.

Peco still make Code 100 large radius curved points. I have used the Code 75 plus a couple of Tillig curved code 83 to get the radius I need. Just have to lightly file the join between 75 & 83 - easy to do.

A Picture always helps Peco Curved points.....

I have a couple of the Peco code 100 curved points to form a crossover on my layout and locos pass over them without any problems.

I have couple of Peco curved points they work just as well as the straight ones do..........John
