Is Peco track and Hornby track compatible?
Peco Setrack and Peco Streamline are compatible with Hornby track as they all share the same gauge width of 16.5mm.
The main differences are in the sleeper spacing and the sleeper colour.
Apart from that, there is very little difference and they will interconnect with no problem. But as with all things, there are those that will use nothing but Peco, others that will use nothing but Hornby and others that use both.
The next time you're in your local model shop, ask if you can see some Peco and Hornby track and you can make the comparison for yourself as this is mostly a matter of personal choice.
