Title: Missing Peco track
Post by: stewartfrazer on June 30, 2021, 07:50:27 PM
I'm working on an OO layout and need a 22mm straight to get the geometry right but it seems not available

Hi Stewart! Could you please post your plan (the AnyRail file)? That makes it easier to help.

You just upload the .any file to here. Click on the "Attachments" below your post.

I don't think there exists a 22mm straight filler Setrack part. However, you could use the Streamline Flex track instead.

ST-203 Special Short Straight 22mm. I have some on my existing layout. Can I make one from flex track and put it in a library so I can use it repeatedly?
Thanks for your help

Thanks Stewart, but according to our information ST-203 is 41mm long.

This is what is confusing me!
I will try and reconfigure another way
Thanks for your help David.

I can imagine! I think it's an error in the leaflet.

Here's the information on the Peco website:
https://peco-uk.com/products/special-short-straight (https://peco-uk.com/products/special-short-straight)

This is also what is my copy of the Peco catalogue. I'm not sure if we have the part here to verify. If anyone has, it would be very helpful!

This is the Peco catalogue which is obviously at fault. I have taken that rail from my layout and it is 41mm not 22. It looks like I can't produce my layout without using cut lengths of flextrak. I'm finding AnyRail very useful and similar to Autocad to use.
Cheers
Stewart.
