Hornby V Peco Track comparison

Here I compare Hornby & Peco track. The sleepers are a slightly different colour. There are some differences with the points too. But overall I do not find the differences as large as some people like to make out. But it is all personal choice. For me, I could happily use either, with no real preference. I have used set-track here, which means straights are straight, and curves are set to a specified radius and so are consistent through the curve. Both manufacturers also make flexi-track and this can be bent and curved however you wish. But beware as you can create curves that are too tight in places. Also they do not come with fishplates fitted (so you will need to buy some) because as you bend the track, the rails alter in relative length and will need to be cut, and then the fishplates then added. I also mention a few other things. One interesting tip is using a silver paint pen (from car stores or hobby shops) to paint the black rails on points. You can also weather some rust in here too if you wish. Check rails are often darker grey or rustier than the regular rails. Add some spray-on sleeper grime, and the effect is complete if you wish. For my test track I want great electrics, so I have not weathered. My model shop told me that Peco do not make the Power Tracks, so I presume you have to solder wires to Peco track directly or use some other method? With the Hornby Power Tracks note that the green one is for DCC and you won't be able to use the brown analogue one (so I am told) as reliably as the on-board suppression MAY disrupt the digital signals. DCC signals are very prone to disruptions. The suppression is there for example to stop controllers causing TVs to flicker and other similar things (I think this is rare these days). Straight sections of track in between points and curves help the wagons and coaches bogies to line up and helps prevent derailments. Mind you good wagons and coaches, with wheels set at the correct gauge (space apart) are essential. Similar couplings I find also help. Thanks to Roneo Models for imparting most of this information to me over the years - thought I'd pass it on. Internet search 'Calvertfilm'.
