The Peco SL-85 Catch Point – Left – Insulfrog is a safety-focused turnout designed for OO/HO gauge model railways. Often used in sidings or branch lines, catch points help prevent runaway rolling stock from entering the mainline by diverting it safely off-track. This Insulfrog version features isolated frog wiring for simple electrical installation, making it ideal for DCC and analogue layouts alike. Manufactured to Code 100 standards and part of the Peco Streamline range, this left-hand catch point is an essential detail for realistic and operationally accurate railway layouts.

PECO Streamline OO/HO CODE 100
Catch Turnout, Left Hand
The purpose of a Catch Turnout is to derail a vehicle before it rolls out of a siding or branch line on to a main line.
If you wish to mix wheel standards on your 00/H0 layout, this is the trackage to choose. Code 100 rail allows flange depths up to 1.6mm which means that both vintage and current stock will run happily together.
The wide range of turnouts and crossings in this series includes every type, and the geometry of this range has been cleverly designed to make it easy to build convenient, complex and aesthetically pleasing formations using combinations of small, medium and large radius turnouts and crossings. Layout plans suggestions can be found in our publications ‘Track Plans for Layouts to Suit all Locations’ (Ref PM-202), ‘60 Plans for Small Railways’ (Ref no PB-3), and ‘Track Plans for Various Locations’ (Ref no PB-66).
