I am planning an OO gauge layout and will be having a narrow gauge section as part of it. Track used will be Peco.

It would be very useful to have the OO9 peco track system in the library.

I don't know how much work is entailed in adding a track system but there are only a LH, RH & "Y" turnouts plus flexible straight & wagon turntable so it's not a huge library.

Any chance of adding it?

Usually, adding a new track system is not too difficult.
For this one, however, we do not have the geometry info yet.
The Peco catalogue doesn't tell us enough to be able to add it.

As you're not the first one to ask, we'll try to find the required info, and add the 00-9/H0e as soon as we can!

Gauge 9mm.
SL-400    (Flexi track)   L=36" (914mm)
SL-E491   (R/H Turnout)   L= 4 5/16" (125mm), R=12" (304mm), A=19.5 deg.
SL-E492   (L/H Turnout)   As above.
SL-E497   (Y Turnout)   L= 4 5/16"* (109mm), R=18" (457mm), A=22.5 deg.
SL-427   (Wagon Turntable)   No dimensions given
* Clearly incorrect. The Y turnout is 3 sleepers shorter than the normal turnout.

For interest: HOm (14mm gauge)
SL-1400   (Flexi track)   L=36" (914mm)
SL-E1495   (R/H Turnout)   L=6 5/16" (160mm),R=20" (508mm), A=10deg.
SL-E1496   (L/H Turnout)   Ditto.
SL-E1486   (R/H Curved)   L=9 3/8" (237mm, R1=18" (457mm), R2=24" (609mm)
SL-E1487   (L/H Curved)   Ditto.
SL-E1493   (Diamond X)   L=4 5/8" (117mm), A=20deg.
LK-1455      (Turntable)   No dimensions given.

Hope all that helps.

Best wishes,
Chris.

PS. How about having a thread specifically to notify us of updates to the program?

In today's new release of AnyRail, the Peco H0e library has been added.
Sadly, we could not find the measurements of the turntable (SL-427), and neither could we buy it somewhere online, so that one remains missing for now.

BTW, we've added a thread for announcements of new versions!
