Peco Streamline Large Radius Turnouts, code 80 Insulfrog RH SL-388

Peco RH SL E388


This is a long Peco Streamline Turnout. It matches the others I have around in rail height and so I assume it is code 80. The turnout length is 159 mm, and according to the specs I found, that makes it a Large Radius. All that would make it Peco RH SL 388.


There is a nice discussion of Peco Streamline turnouts here.

Assorted Switch Machines and Mounts

Peco PL-10 & PL-10W

Three (3) new in original packaging Peco Lectrics Streamline and Setrack Motor (Switch Machine) for remote control of Turnouts.
Note two are the PL-10 model and one is the High Performance PL-10W model.
I originally paid $4.95 each for these in a large quantity.

RIX Twin Coil Switch Machine Mounted on a RIX RAX Flat

I have a single setup. Details on these are on RIX's website though I have the paper info on both the switch machine and the mounting rack.
There is a single SPDT contact on the unit.
MSRP is $12.99 and the RAX goes for around $3.



Hallmark Models Twin Coil Switch Machines (2)

I don't think these are sold by Hallmark anymore. But Pacific Fast Mail and Tenshodo have identical switch motors as this one.
And the mounting holes on a RIX RAX perfectly line up with this switch motor.
I have two of these switch machines. They have SPDT accessory contact as well as a DPDT contact as well.
Make an offer, no pricing known.

New and still in original packaging. Works for both N an H gauge Peco Switch machines. I paid $1.65 for mine 11 years ago and can't find any information on these now.

Definitely used, but I'm guessing still functional. The only thing I could find online on these is new they run about $20.

This is little, and cute, farmhouse with lots of extra details. I constructed the basic house, but left off all the details which are still in the box (bottom of the stack below).

The MSRP of this model is $22.98 but I've seen it online for $14.99. It appears to still be in production.
Also included is this wall flat barn end that I constructed from dimensions of my father-in-law's barn.

SOLD
Micro Engineering Company Model 65-139 Gas Station

Micro Engineering Company 65-139
I've actually assembled the 4 walls of this model, but the rest is original and in the box. This model includes some very nice details in pewter or some other type of soft metal.

There is no price on my box, but MEC lists the current MSRP at $19.60. But the only place I've found that has it online shows the price at $15.69.


Model Power 1530 Lil's Coffee Shop
Model Power 1530
This kit was given to me. It has, in my opinion, a European appearance, and I never built it. Everything appears to be in the box. 

From what I could find online, this is out of production. Its MSRP was $15.98.


Pola N 242 Factory
This German made large factory with an auxiliary boiler with chimney can be constructed with a track running through the building. That feature is why I bought the model. but it has not been constructed and is in its original box.

Model Power 1539 Post Office and First National Bank

Model Power 1539





Model Power 1539 is two identical buildings modeled in different colors. I further painted these, though admittedly, not very well. I also cut off the back corners of each of these buildings. I don't recall where I intended to place these, but the corners could be used as is up against a backdrop.

I have the original box and instructions and some spare parts that I did not use.

The current MSRP of this model appears to be $24.98, but it is listed as out of production.

Design Preservation Models 502 Hayes Hardware

DPM 502
This is the only resin kit in the collection. I remember buying, constructing, and painting this model. Design Preservation Models is now owned by Woodland Scenics. I have the instructions for the model, but there is a PDF version at this link on Woodland Scenics’ website. And other than the MSRP, that is all I know about the kit. I have not installed the roof, but it appears that all parts of the kit are attached and painted.

This MSRP on this kit is $13.99. To make me an offer, send an e-mail to bikeracephotos@me.com. Post a comment to ask a question.
