In model railways, what are code 60 rails used for?
Peco's code 60 rails are used in the production of Z gauge model railway track, but they're also used to model the 'third rail' of tracks in OO gauge.
In England, the electrified 'third rail' system of powering trains is used extensively on the Southern region as well on many underground and metro systems around the world.
In model form, the use of code 60 rails placed by the side of regular OO gauge track is ideal for modelling such railways and special chairs are available to house the rails.
