The
name Peco is the registered trademark for Pritchard Patent
Product Co. Ltd. and Peco Publications and Publicity Ltd,
both of which are devoted to the hobby of model railways.
The forward looking family business started
trading in 1946 and still today virtually all production
is undertaken at its headquarters in Beer. Likewise the
magazines Railway Modeller and Continental Modeller are
edited and put together by our enthusiastic team each
month within the same building.
The Peco headquarters and production
area at Beer in South West England
The offices and production area stands
high on the hillside offering wonderful views of Beer
village and the coast beyond. It is therefore quite natural
that many railway enthusiasts visit the home of Peco
and the site has become one of the country's most important
tourist attractions, Pecorama. The exhibition of model
railways, the Beer Heights Light Railway and the extensive
gardens are all there to inspire and enjoy.
The Peco Group now also includes the companies:
-
