N Scale - Train-Nerding I

Getting my N Scale Kato Unitrack layout mocked up for some scenery. I'm aware the local and timeframe of my trains don't match and I don't really care. Model Railroading to me is all about what trains look cool or interesting.

I've got tons of track but this setup is basically the Master 1 Set with the V5 Inner Oval, V7 Double Crossover, the unfinished V2 Single Viaduct, and then (2) V12 Double Viaduct Packs for the outer passenger car track. I've got the Double Automatic Crossing Gate functional now and I'm waiting on the accessory power supply to get the 3-way Signal working.

I'm waiting on more buildings before I make a final layout. Kato's office buildings and the Viaduct Train Station are on the way now.

I'm trying to decide if I should switch to a larger table or keep it compact on this drafting table. It'll probably end up on two longer folding tables.

Love your layout! How do you like the Kato Unitrak? Would you recommend it? Is it Nickle-Silver? Thanks!

[pigeonfarmboy]

It is Nickel-Silver. It's really nice but I think it depends on what you're going for. I've seen unitrack used on detailed layouts and it looks ok. If you're a good modeler I think you're better off going with regular track/bedding. Can't beat it for it's ease of clicking together though.

u should get the unitram to go in the middle

Hey cool thanks I hadn't seen that yet.

This is great stuff. I'm planning starting an n gauge layout and have been impressed with the kato stuff. How highly would you recomend a starter pack?

[pigeonfarmboy]

The starter packs are great. You'll be playing with your trains right away. I like the Kato power supplies. I run 4 of them now.

Where do you get those working train crossings at 0:49 ?

[jllaclair]

where did you get teh crossing gate from??

This a bad ass layout brother. I've been out of model railroading for a while, and was looking around at some layouts trying to get the feel back and saw yours and I'M BACK ! Very smooth, not a big fan of the unitrak, but thats just me. You did a great job, I would love to see it finished. POST UP.

just round and round and round

is you mind already clear or XD no no joke but a bit bigger and longer tracks would be very good but so on nice layout
