I would like to know your opinions on KATO track and switches? I am starting a new layout and I have only ever used Atlas and Peco, so I only have experience with these 2 brands. Have or are any of you using KATO track and switches. I know that I will receive many opinions, but that is exactly the information I want.
I assume you are talking "HO" Unitrack rather than "N" but, either way, Kato makes a very nice track and the switches are very reliable.
I use Kato Unitrack for my temporary layouts each winter and it goes together easy and I've never had any electrical issues with it. I use the #6 switches and they are terrific.
Kato makes a color matching ballast also for more permanent installations. My only complaint is that in HO, Kato does not have as many track pieces available as they do for N scale and they do not make an Atlas to Kato adaptor piece either.
