Now there's a name i've not heard for a long time.

Peco were pretty big back in the early 90's, id say a main rival to JanSpeed.

they used to be a very good brand, but seem to specialise in cheap pack boxes now.

check the quality if you can and see

Cheap option, will do for a wee while... but long term, I'd recommend saving a little more and buying a used better branded backbox/system.


Cheers,

They were popular as they were cheap but not very good. A cheap n cheerful noise making mild steel system.
