Peco ST-226 Setrack No.2 Radius Double Curve Code 100 HO/OO Track: Scale, Layout & Compatibility Guide

Peco ST-226 Code100 No.2 radius double curve track section

Rather than repeating the catalog description for Peco ST-226 Setrack No.2 Radius Double Curve Code 100 HO/OO Track, this guide turns the model train track listing into a decision record. It explains how the Peco item is identified, how the available evidence should be read, and where confirmation is still required.

Matching the exact listing

  • Exact product: Peco ST-226 Setrack No.2 Radius Double Curve Code 100 HO/OO Track
  • Brand or vendor: Peco
  • Product type: Model Train Track
  • SKU or catalog key: PCOST-226
  • Scale stated in the record: HO Scale
  • Quantity wording: 226 Set
  • Variants reviewed: 1
  • Product images indexed: 2

The recorded price at verification was $12.99 before shipping and tax. At least one variant was orderable when the record was checked.

This item is best cataloged under its full name and PCOST-226. The scale marker HO Scale is part of the exact identity and should be matched before purchase. The quantity wording 226 Set should be reconciled with the package photo and option selected. That combination protects against accidental substitutions when related products share a subject, color, scale or series.

Confirmed facts versus assumptions

Current catalog evidence can be summarized as follows: “Peco ST-226 Setrack is a Code 100 double curve track section for HO/OO model railways. This No.2 radius curve has a 438mm radius and 45-degree arc. Product Details Manufacturer: Peco Item number: ST-226 Range: Setrack Gauge: HO/OO, 16.5mm Rail profile: Code 100 Curve radius: 438mm (17¼in) Arc: 45 degrees SKU: PCOST-226 Nickel silver rails and molded sleeper bases provide a rigid track section for model railway layouts. The Code 100 Setrack system is compatible with Peco Code 100 Streamline track.” Every additional recommendation in this guide is framed as a check or planning step when the listing itself does not confirm the answer.

What matters for this kind of product

The title of Peco ST-226 Setrack No.2 Radius Double Curve Code 100 HO/OO Track may contain scale, road number, body type or decoder family, but no single phrase settles compatibility. Use PCOST-226 with the images and current documentation. A visually similar car can carry a different road number; a similarly named decoder can use a different interface.

Test new rolling stock or electronics on a controlled section before regular service. That isolates clearance, pickup, coupler-height and programming issues without disrupting the full layout.

Second-pass inspection

Use a consistent roster format: manufacturer, item number, road name, road number, scale, coupler standard, wheel notes and acquisition date. A complete roster is more useful than a title-only wish list when the same prototype appears in several releases.

If the exact item is intended for display rather than operation, the same identity fields still matter even when radius or control compatibility does not.

Image-by-image verification

2 product images were available to the catalog at verification. Use them as item-level evidence: zoom in on the SKU, graphics, edges, connectors, part arrangement or package callouts relevant to this model train track. Do not substitute a generic manufacturer image when the exact listing supplies a more specific view.

Checks to complete before ordering

  1. Match the full title and PCOST-226.
  2. Confirm the selected variant and displayed quantity.
  3. Review the exact image set for the distinguishing details named above.
  4. Resolve every missing fit, scale, material or compatibility point from current instructions.
  5. Check live price and availability immediately before ordering.

Cataloging and project notes

After purchase, store the acquisition date, price, seller, item number PCOST-226, selected option and one clear image with the project or collection record. Add notes about fit, assembly, condition or performance only after they are observed on this exact item.

This separates verified ownership evidence from later opinion and makes a replacement or repeat purchase much easier.

Gift considerations

Gift buyers should match PCOST-226 to a known collection, project or preference. If size, scale, interface or exact version is uncertain, preserve the receipt and avoid opening fit-sensitive packaging.

It avoids invented dimensions, unsupported rarity claims and compatibility assumptions not established by the product record.

Decision summary: choose Peco ST-226 Setrack No.2 Radius Double Curve Code 100 HO/OO Track when the complete identity, photographed details and intended use all match. The live page should settle current price and availability; this guide preserves the evidence needed to recognize the exact item.

Product-specific handoff notes

Anyone using this guide later should begin with PCOST-226 and the full name Peco ST-226 Setrack No.2 Radius Double Curve Code 100 HO/OO Track. The record identifies Peco as the vendor and Model Train Track as the product type. Recheck those details whenever the item is compared with another listing, because punctuation or abbreviated names can hide meaningful release differences.

When the item enters a project or collection, note the date, observed condition, included pieces and any fit or setup result. Photograph modifications before and after they are made. These notes should describe this example only. Keeping them attached to the exact item number preserves a useful history without turning personal experience into an unsupported specification for every similar product.
