PECO has always been a forward-looking family company with a long tradition of innovative thinking. The business started trading in 1946 and is now in its third generation.
From early days, PECO has concentrated its manufacturing skills on producing trackwork for the model railway enthusiast. Individual component parts was how it started, but this developed into HO/OO ready-made track with fibre sleepers. With plastics becoming more popular in the 1960s, PECO decided to introduce the famous Streamline range, which over the years has become one of the world’s leading brands for not just HO/OO but all scales from Z to G.
PECO currently produces no less than 20 track ranges, featuring both standard gauge and narrow gauge systems, plus a wide selection of complementary accessories and items to add scenic detail to your layout.
Our scenic background range captures the variety on the British landscape, from industrial cities and docks to small country towns, fields and mountains. The sheets can be assembled in almost any combination, consistent horizon heights and special extension sheets make it easy to accommodate transitions from town to countryside and back again. The choice of sheet size will obviously depend to some degree on the model scale. Bear in mind that perspective only ever makes things appear smaller not larger, so if you are unsure, remember 1 golden rule. A backscene that appears to be a larger scale than the foreground models will always look wrong.
