Peco Turnout Small Radius Curved Left Hand Unifrog #SL-U77
SL-U77 Curved Turnout, Small Radius, Left Hand
The UNIFROG is a new turnout design from PECO, combining features of their Insulfrog and Electrofrog products. DCC ready out of the package, it behaves like the Insulfrog turnout, but can be wired as an Electrofrog. PECO plans to replace their Electrofrog and Insulfrog products with the Unifrog over time.
Adapted from the existing PECO Setrack Curved turnout, this brand-new item offers a tighter radius turnout.
Curved turnouts are fantastic space-savers and their benefits are often overlooked. Given that so many layouts are built in small spaces the use of curved turnouts is an ideal solution for layout planning.
This turnout has been derived from the existing Setrack curved turnout the geometry departs from the common frog angle adopted by the Streamline system (which is based on a common frog angle of 12 degrees) - this turnout has an 11.25 degree frog angle and the inner radius is just 438mm, or 17.2 inches. This should not be seen as any disadvantage and the real benefit is that they will allow much tighter access where it is needed, such as in restricted places where a layout has to loop around into a fiddle yard, for example.
The standard Streamline curved turnout has a minimum inside radius of 762mm, 30 inches, so the difference is quite clear to see.
Technical Specification:
- Length: 168mm
- Radius: 438mm
