OO/HO CODE 100
SL-U97 SMALL RADIUS Y TURNOUT
BRAND NEW TOOLING!
UNIFROG

The latest conversion to Unifrog is now available. This time we have updated the Streamline OO/HO scale Code 100 Small Radius Y turnout to conform to this new format. Produced from brand new tooling this replaced the former Insulfrog and Electrofrog SL-97 and SL-E97: both of these are now discontinued and out of stock.

   

Y Turnouts are really useful track components and maybe modellers do not fully appreciate their value, their main benefit being as great space-savers. By combining the Y with the short crossing you can create a tight radius double junction and using several Ys together allows you to fit more routes in a restricted space. Ideal when building small loco yards and goods sidings. It's what the real railways would have done after all! Below is a quick demonstration of how both the SL-U97 and SL-93 short crossing can be used together, along with a demonstration of three SL-U97s used together to create a track formation in a tight space: in this instance just under 300mm. You can help modellers understand the value of these track components by explaining these benefits to them.

   
 

 

UNIFROG

On a Unifrog turnout the frog tip and wing rails are electrically isolated from all other rails. The turnout can be used as supplied on a DC or DCC layout without any modification, using the standard SL-10 rail joiner. If desired, the frog tip and wing rails can be powered by connecting the wire welded underneath to a changeover switch or microswitch working in unison with one of our turnout motors. Basically, as supplied the turnout operates as an Insulfrog turnout. If the frog is powered then it operates as an Electrofrog turnout. So, the best of both worlds in one unit!
