Peco to mamod...

Post by made-in-england » Fri Dec 18, 2009 8:15 pm

Hi All,

Can anyone advise me on how to attach peco track to mamod track?

This is assuming that its do-able? My railway was laid with peco track (a few meters up and down) but have come into some free mamod track and want to make best use of it.

The best use for it is to stick it on eBay ;) !

But your railway will run much better on PECO.

Well, there is always second hand Peco ;) And Mamod stuff usually goes quite high prices I think to some suckers...

We have been here before I think.

I use mamod points as tight turn offs and track for sidings, leaving the expensive Peco stuff as mainline (its better if mainline is the same for smooth running)

You will need to take a file to the mamod track and file in about 1/4 inch and make a matching rail profile to the peco or near as able for the fishplates to fit and nip the fishplate with pincers for a tight fit

I have got photos somewhere
