Arnold part number differences

[chrisskidmore]

Hi all,

I have noticed that Arnold have two sets of product code for what appear to be the same products.
eg - 8007 and 1420 - are both 222mm (R2) 45 degrees.

I know that Hornby re-launched the track a few years ago and therefore am guessing they are the same, just given new - hornby - numbers.

Can anyone confirm that please? - are the actually the same & fully compatible?

Many thanks

Chris

I couldn't find the 1420 but I think it may be old and new product numbers.
What has me stumped, and once again I'm only on my first coffee, is that the two 15 degree crossings (8022 & 8023) are labelled left or right.
What?
Aren't they both left or right depending on how you rotate them?

Now I'm confused!

Thanks for the reply - I only find the 1420 numbers on ebay but they are quite common - including some new (I should say that is ebay germany where I live) - but there is a big price difference.
