PECO (Pritchard Patent Product Co Ltd) started trading in 1946 and is now in its third generation. Although the history of the company is of considerable interest, the present management do not dwell over the past but use the knowledge as important inspiration for the development of the future. From early days PECO has concentrated its manufacturing skills in the direction of 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 it was 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 Streamline tracks are by no means the only type of products manufactured for the model railway enthusiast. There are numerous accessories and our catalogue illustrates the complete range and will bring you up to date with what is happening at the home of PECO. Publishing is another aspect of the work undertaken at the headquarters of PECO. Railway Modeller, now in its 66th year continues to be Great Britain’s best loved model railway magazine with by far the largest readership. www.pecopublications.co.uk The headquarters or PECO, located in a most wonderful coastal part of Devon, has not unnaturally attracted visitors over the years and so it is that the site has become one of the country's most important tourist attractions. The Exhibition of model railways is there to inspire you and technical advice is on hand from one of our experts should it be needed. This is not all, for Pecorama is set within beautiful gardens which are home of the famous 7.25in gauge passenger carrying Beer Heights Light Railway. A really good educational and fun day out for all the family. For further information visit our website www.pecorama.co.uk
