The SLE790BH is the existing code 124 bullhead rail turnout. Peco is redesigning the Lenz #5 double slip to use Peco's code 143 flat bottom rail and improve manufacturability. Bernd Lenz told me this was going to happen 4-5 years ago as the Kader plant that made his and Atlas' track shut out everyone but Bachmann. As with all things model railroad it took longer to get a new supplier (and STILL not in production) than anyone thought.
