[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by CBQ_Guy</i> <br /><br />Robert, <br /> <br />Here is a quote from the magazine a modeler on another board posted. I saw it last night (SAT.): <br /> <br />........ <br />"Listers - this is directly from April '04 Railway Modeller. <br /> <br />QUOTE <A totally new US profile track system is to be introduced in <br />JUNE 2004 by PECO. Code 83 does not replace any of the currently <br />available track, but is an important additional range to provide an <br />authentic HO scale system for modellers of the Nrth American <br />prototype. <br />The rail profile and sleeper (tie) spacing will reflect US practice, <br />there will be extended sleepers (ties) for point (switch) levers, and <br />the rail fixings, baseplates with spikes and siderail fixings with <br />cast cleats all add to the realism. Check rail and frog clearances <br />will be to NMRA standard and flange support in the frog area will <br />give smooth passage over points. Livefrog and insulfrog points <br />(switches) to NMRA classifications Nos.5 and 6 and a No.6 diamond <br />crossing will be part of the range. <br />Flexible track in yard lengths will be available too. It is, of <br />course, totally compatible for use with DCC>END QUOTE <br /> <br />There is a VERY small photo which doesn't help much <br />That's all I have at the moment - HIH " <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Hi. <br /> <br />I cant wait to se it, I have been looking for the magazin in my little town, but there is no shop provide it.
