Peco SL-10 rail joiners are the standard nickel silver joiners for Code 100 rail. They slide onto the rail ends to hold track sections in line and carry power from one section to the next. A pack of 24 covers a dozen track joints, handy for flex track, turnouts and repairs. Specifications Brand Peco Item Number SL-10 Scale HO / OO Rail Size Code 100 Material Nickel silver, electrically conducting Contents 24 rail joiners Fits Peco Streamline Code 100 track, plus Peco O-16.5 (On30) and O gauge bullhead track UPC 5050881041802 Condition New Features Holds track sections in line and carries power across each joint. Sized for Code 100 rail, including Peco Streamline flex track and turnouts. Peco also lists them for its O-16.5 (On30) and O gauge bullhead track. Nickel silver to match nickel silver rail. 24 joiners per pack, enough for 12 track joints. Frequently Asked Questions How many track joints does one pack cover?Each joint takes two joiners, one per rail, so a pack of 24 covers 12 joints. Will they fit Code 100 track from other brands?Yes. They are made for Code 100 rail, so they fit Code 100 track from Atlas, Bachmann and other makers as well as Peco. Do they carry power between sections?Yes. These are metal joiners, so power flows across the joint. To isolate a section, use insulated joiners in that spot instead. Can I use them on Code 83 rail?No. Code 83 rail is shorter and needs joiners sized for Code 83. Explore More Browse more track and roadbed, the full Peco range, and everything for HO scale.

Terminal rail joiners are the simplest way to get power from your power pack into the rails. Each one is a nickel silver rail joiner with a feeder wire already attached, so it slides onto the rail end in place of a regular joiner and the wire runs straight to your power supply. Atlas makes this pair for its HO True-Track line and Code 83 rail. Specifications Brand Atlas Model Railroad Co. Item Number 465 Scale HO (1:87) Rail Size Code 83 Made For Atlas True-Track and Code 83 rail Material Nickel silver rail joiners with attached feeder wires Contents 1 pair (2 terminal joiners) UPC 732573004658 Condition New Features Feeder wire comes attached to each joiner, so there is no soldering to get power to the track. Slides onto the rail end just like a standard rail joiner. Nickel silver to match nickel silver rail. One pair per package, one joiner for each rail, enough for a single power feed. Add more pairs around a larger layout to keep power even and trains running smoothly. Frequently Asked Questions What is in the package?One pair: two terminal rail joiners, each with a feeder wire attached. Do I need to solder anything?No. Slide each joiner onto a rail end like a regular joiner, then connect the wires to the track terminals on your power pack or DCC system. Does it work with DCC?Yes. Terminal joiners only carry power to the rails, so they work the same with a DC power pack or a DCC command station. Will it fit my track?It is made for Code 83 rail, including Atlas HO True-Track. For Code 100 track, use a Code 100 terminal joiner instead. How many do I need?One pair per power feed. A small loop needs one pair. Larger layouts run better with a feeder every few feet of track.

Kato's #6 Unitrack turnout is the go-to switch for smooth, reliable N scale mainline trackwork, and this version dresses it up with urethane ties. They copy the synthetic composite ties modern railroads now lay in place of wood, with brown ties set on gray ballast for a more up-to-date look. Under the new ties it works exactly like the standard Kato 20-203: a gentle 718mm (28 1/4") diverging radius that long equipment handles with ease, and a built-in switch machine hidden beneath the roadbed. Specifications Brand Kato Item Number 20-215 (Kato EP718-15RPC) Scale N (1:160) Type #6 electric turnout, right hand Length 186mm (7 5/16") Diverging Route 718mm (28 1/4") radius, 15 degrees Ties Urethane (synthetic) ties on gray ballasted roadbed Switch Machine Built in, with lead wire and plug, plus a manual throw lever Power Routing Only the route the turnout is set for is powered Control Kato 24-840 Turnout Control Switch (sold separately) In the Package 1 turnout with lead wire UPC 4949727695266 Condition New Features Urethane ties model the synthetic composite ties used on modern railroads, a better match for present-day layouts than the standard brown wood-tie turnout. Broad 718mm (28 1/4") diverging radius keeps long passenger cars and modern freight running smoothly through the switch. Built-in switch machine sits under the roadbed with no bulky motor beside the track, and a manual lever lets you throw it by hand. Power routing turnout, so a train parked on the unselected route sits dead. Handy for simple sidings without extra wiring. Designed to go with Kato's new concrete-tie Unitrack, and joins all standard Unitrack with UniJoiners. Frequently Asked Questions What else do I need to throw it electrically?A Kato 24-840 Turnout Control Switch, sold separately. It plugs into the turnout lead wire. If you are not using a Kato power pack, Kato's 24-842 adapter connects the switch to other power supplies. How is this different from the Kato 20-203?Only the look. Geometry, the switch machine and electrical behavior are the same. The 20-203 has brown wood-style ties, while the 20-215 has urethane ties. How do I build a siding or a double track crossover with it?Add a 718mm (28 1/4") radius 15 degree curve to the diverging leg. That brings the track back parallel at Kato's standard 49.5mm double track spacing. Will it work on a DCC layout?Yes. The track works on DC or DCC. To throw the turnout from your DCC system, wire the switch machine to a stationary accessory decoder instead of the 24-840. Is the left-hand version available?Yes, the Kato 20-214 is the matching left-hand turnout, linked below.

It runs trains at the same gauge as Lionel's traditional O gauge tubular track and is compatible with all standard O gauge Lionel rolling stock and locomotives. Does this section include any wiring or terminal connections?No — this is a plain straight section, intended as a filler/spacer piece.
