i've been installing caboose ground throws on my clubs layout and there are some peco turnouts that i will be doing soon. i believe i will be using 208S (sprung). they have a .280" thousanths throw. they come with several attachments to mount them to different types of switches including the peco brand.

I use caboose 208S on a couple of Peco CODE 100 electrofrog turnouts.They have been operating for 3 years with no problem.Code 83 shouldn't be any different
