Peco SL-85 Streamline Left Hand Catch Point

Catch points protect main lines from runaway vehicles by derailing them and they are often situated at the bottom of inclines. They are also placed at the ends of sidings or where a secondary line joins a main line and they are then referred to as 'Trap Points'.

Length 98mm.

Most Streamline turnouts (points) are available with 'dead' frogs - Insulfrog or 'live' frogs - Electrofrog. For a description of the two types and wiring instructions, see our 'How To' page here.

For joining, use SL-10 or PL-80 pre-wired metal rail joiners to electrically join or SL-11 nylon rail joiners where an electrical break is required.

Can be joined to Code 75 finescale track by using either SL-112 dual standard rail joiners or SL-113 transition track.

Fitted with an over centre spring for immediate hand control but, for remote control on permanent layouts, a point motor such as Peco PL-10 or Seep PM-2 can be fitted.

Can be fixed with SL-14 track pins.

To assist in layout planning, full size turnout plans are available to download from the Peco website.
