Peare did indeed offer Af compatible S track and turnouts with Code 172 rail.
He also offered track and turnouts for S scale in Code 125. I recall their
being advertised decades ago in MR or RMC.

Dear Howard
I'd guess the Peare are more than fifty years old, probably going on sixty. He
mostly made O scale track, so these are probably from some of the same rail
(although
quite a few O scale modelers back then used the even more comical code #172) to
accomodate AF wheelsets and drivers. That long ago there was very little true
scale S. Peare was located in New Jersey as I recall, and, I think, for a
while had the remains of the Westbrook car kit line.
