Peco points

[Brian T]

Hi guys,

i'm looking at a couple of peco points,but only ever having the 7mm versions i was wondering if the the G1 ones suffer from the same problem,
ie; wheel drop in the frog.

Cheers,
Brian.

I’d suggest that’ll depend on both the wheels and the check gauge.

if there’s sufficient clearance, as there is in 0F, you’ll get wheel drop. Peco points work very well, but do suffer this issue

If you tighten the gauge, then the wheel only drops by the clearance of the coning as it passes across the common crossing, as in 0MF or S7 (or the real thing)

I have no knowledge of G1, but guess the same applies.
