Do you know if there will be slipers in different lenght under the rails? Becouse this is what I would like the most, ohterwise I have to cut almost every slipers a little bit so it don´t look so straight. I hope you understand what I meen. Robert

Robert Yes, I understand what you mean. Sleepers are what we call ties here in USA. As far as the different lengths on the new Peco track, I really don't know, but I would guess not. That's just my opinion. The only info I had was what I had read in a report a couple months back by a Kalmbach correspondent at the Milwaukee Train Show, I believe. Regards,

"Listers - this is directly from April '04 Railway Modeller. QUOTE <A totally new US profile track system is to be introduced in JUNE 2004 by PECO. Code 83 does not replace any of the currently available track, but is an important additional range to provide an authentic HO scale system for modellers of the Nrth American prototype. The rail profile and sleeper (tie) spacing will reflect US practice, there will be extended sleepers (ties) for point (switch) levers, and the rail fixings, baseplates with spikes and siderail fixings with cast cleats all add to the realism. Check rail and frog clearances will be to NMRA standard and flange support in the frog area will give smooth passage over points. Livefrog and insulfrog points (switches) to NMRA classifications Nos.5 and 6 and a No.6 diamond crossing will be part of the range. Flexible track in yard lengths will be available too. It is, of course, totally compatible for use with DCC>END QUOTE There is a VERY small photo which doesn't help much That's all I have at the moment - HIH "
