Trying the Kato Unitrack system. I am a big fan of temporary layouts and do not have a permanent layout, so I am trying to find track that suit my purpose. I bought some Kato track:
– V11 superelevated double track set (Kato 20-870-1)
– V2 sigle track viaduct set (Kato 20-861-1)
– 2x V4 switching siding set (Kato 20-863-1)
– Kato 20-221 R4 turnout
– Kato 20-210 double crossover
This is my own purchase and is not sponsored.
I am used to Märklin C-track and Märklin MFX and in this video I experiment with these Kato sets and see what I can learn. All in all I find the Kato unitrack nice and easy to use and it suits my purpose. Still have unanswered questions on how to DCC-enable turnouts and double cross over, so I will look into that in the future.

Enjoy and have fun with model trains 🙂
