Tell me about Kato Unitrack

  Kato Unitrack is a modular track system for N scale model trains. It is made by Kato, a Japanese model train manufacturer. Unitrack is known for its high quality, durability, and ease of use. Unitrack is made of nickel silver rails and plastic ties. The rails are held together by a unique snap-together system that makes it easy to assemble and disassemble the track. Unitrack is also available with a ballasted surface, which gives it a more realistic appearance. Unitrack is compatible with most N scale locomotives and rolling stock. It is also compatible with DCC (Digital Command Control), which allows you to control your trains with a computer or handheld controller. Kato Unitrack is a popular choice for model train enthusiasts of all levels. It is a great choice for beginners because it is easy to use and set up. It is also a great choice for experienced modelers because it is high quality and durable. Here are some of the benefits of using Kato Unitrack: High quality: Kato Unitrack

T-TRAK

 T TRAK is a modular system of creating layouts, using mostly KATO track.


It's interesting as each module is quite small, as little as ~30cms wide (or a multple of this).

The YAGNGS is experimenting with this system, not widely used in the UK: https://yagngs.wixsite.com/yorkshire-area-group/t-trak


I like it becase you don't need much room, and you have all the advantages of unitrack. I'm hoping to get a few modules to play with, and use for Train Trax photography.

Kato Points aka 'Turnouts' or 'Switches'

 I've used various words in  the title to keep international readers included, but I'll use the  general UK usages of 'points' below, Kato produce three different 'sizes' of points: #6  Left Right #4  Left Right Compact (not shown above) Left Right  There's also the Y point , and the Double crossover , and then three different crossing types.   You'll see that the business bit of the point on the #4 is shorter than the same bit on the #6. This gives it a sharper radius. A sharp radius is useful if you want squeeze a lot of trackwork into a smaller area, but looks less realistic. Some trains may not run as smoothly over a tight radius, particularly at speed. The 'compact' points take a short radius to the extreme. They will only work with short-wheelbase locomotives and trams. All the points have a built in solenoid motor to 'throw' the point blades. They can be switched manually with the s
