When it was first introduced to the Japanese model train market in 1957, Kato UNITRACK was revolutionary because it provided the convenience of a snap track with none of the drawbacks - the patented Unijoiner clips hold rails tightly together but are easily disconnected, allowing modelers to reliably assemble and disassemble their track sections over and over and over again, without worrying about loosening joints, breaking clips, or lessening the electrical conductivity between track segments!
While much in the hobby in the last 50 years has changed, Kato UNITRACK has remaind THE ideal track system in both N and HO scales for modelers looking for reliability and ease of use; whether building fully detailed scenic layouts or temporary setups that can be operated around a christmas tree or a dining room table!

Track:Each Kato N Scale Starter Set Contains a 3� x 4� oval of N gauge Unitrack, including a track feeder, a road crossing and rerailing track, and a book of directions for additional layout plans. Kato UNITRACK uses a special alloy of nickel silver to prevent tarnishing and reduces the frequency of cleaning that is required. If you�re an occasional modeler who only pulls out the train set on holidays, that means you don�t need to worry about your rails rusting away in the package! Likewise, if you operate your trains on a daily basis, you�ll have to clean your track less often and have fewer instances of lost conductivity! |

Trains:Kato�s Starter Sets include one of a number of either modern or classic freight or passenger locomotives and associated cars! Whether you�re looking to build a Classic Santa Fe �mini-Chief� with a Super Chief starter set, get going with a modern freight line with our ES44AC "GEVO" freight starter sets, or even model Amtrak�s premier passenger services with a P42 or ACS-64 Amtrak starter set, Kato can put you on the right track! |
