This turnout is a #6, right-hand turnout designed for HO scale model railroads using PECO Streamline Code 83 track. Code 83 means the rail height is 0.083 inches, which closely matches many North American prototype railroads in HO scale and provides a realistic track appearance with proper tie spacing and rail profile.
The Unifrog designation means the frog (the crossing point where rails intersect) is made of metal and electrically isolated from the rest of the turnout. Unlike older Insulfrog designs (where the frog is plastic), a Unifrog turnout can be wired so the frog is powered (improving electrical pickup through the turnout), but can also function without extra wiring if preferred — giving flexibility for DCC or DC layouts.
PECO’s Streamline track components are based on published North American railroad engineering drawings and are NMRA-compliant, offering good reliability and prototypical appearance. The ties are molded in creosote-coloured flexible plastic with wood grain, tie plates, and spike detail for added realism.
Technical Specification:
Length: 223.5mm
Frog Angle: 9.5 Degrees
Radius: 1092mm
