What is the difference between Peco Streamline and Set-Track?
Peco manufactures two types of track:
- Set-Track is the standard geometry range, similar to the one used by Hornby. The range comprises curves, straights, crossings and points.
- Streamline is the extended range with wider radii for the points and crossings, making them look more real. There is no Streamline straights or curves but flexible track can be used. It requires being cut to size and bent according to the needs. This is why Streamline is considered to be for the more experienced modeller.
Both Streamline and Set-Track will connect together.
