1 Pair Isolating Sleepers for Peco Code 55 CURVED points (turnouts)
same type for all three lenghts of Peco points and regardless left or right)
printed of special resin
Isolating sleepers instead of Isolating tracks shoes
Normally you would isolate tracks with plastic track shoes provided by track suplliers like Peco does. A tiny piece of plastic separates the two tracks. This leads to rather visible breaks in the track. They are also quite tidious to mount. And you still have to trim of the last sleepers on either side and install them as single sleepers (and also trimmed flat) afterward again.
This is why these isolating sleeprs come handy: they are one piece with both track shoes together with the two sleepers on either side. Additionally the isolating bit is so tiny that the visual break is minimal.
And they are modelled as wooden sleepers like the neighbouring ones from Peco.
Different types for straight track and straight points (turnouts)
It is the same type for left and right hand points. Both pieces will simply be the other way round. The sleepers ar trimmed of in an angle and shortened to fit exactly. So you will understand and see rather obvious how to align them for the straght track and the turning track.
This is why those need for straight tracks and curved points (turnouts) are different. You don´t need the trimmed sleepers for the straights that have no tunring off neighbouring sleepers. And the aligment is different for curved points. To isolate a Peco point (turnout) on all three sides you will need an additional isolating sleeper for straights in addition to this pair. And a different pair for curved points. All of them are also available in this shop.
