- Composite sleepers are railway sleepers made from rigid urethane foam (a type of plastic) reinforced with glass fiber. They are highly durable and lightweight. They do not rot like wood, are lighter than concrete, and boast a service life of over 30 years. Compared to standard concrete sleepers used on most track, composite sleepers are adopted for locations requiring especially high durability and ease of installation, such as turnouts and bridges.
- Introducing a powered turnout track that realistically reproduces the look and running feel of modern rolling stock on composite sleepers. The DC point machine is compactly housed within the roadbed, providing a clean appearance while allowing flexible track planning. The turnout follows Unitrack standards, making it easy for beginners to use and ideal as an expansion for M1-PC track set layouts.
Option Parts
- Recreates PC concrete sleepers that became common from the 1950s onward, suitable for a wide range of rolling stock from conventional mainline trains to high speed trains.
- The ballast surface is lower than that of double track to emphasize three dimensional appearance. You can further customize the high grade track look by scattering separate ballast products such as 24-039.
- Uses Uni joiners for reliable electrical contact and solid connections.
- Used when installing an island platform with a No.6 powered turnout.
- PC straight track is packaged as a set of four pieces to match other straight track packs.
