Friends,
I need to employ a reasonably tight curved point on my layout but I am dubious about the coding?
I have looked at some on Ebay and wonder (Since the information isn't given!) whether they are compatible with Peco Code 80?

Can someone enlighten me, please?
Peter.
Fleischmann are difficult to connect to Peco track the base is a fair bit wider so Fleischmann joiners flop about on Peco track and Peco need opening out to join to Fleischmann, I would suggest Arnold, Minitrix or Roco I've used all 3 with Peco at various times, they aoppear to be code 80.
The Minitrix curved is about the same dimensions as the Fleischmann, what's more Fleischmann have a base similar to Kato in that it representing ballast. Not sure of the dimensions of the Roco and Arnold curved points, I've only used their 3 way and double slips, both very compact compared to Peco, the 3 ways are ideal for limited space fiddle yards being about half the length of the Peco, the Arnold double slips are also much shorter than Peco ones (and IIRC they are cheaper)
