Fantastic job with the Kato track, you really made it look well. Its really the way to go with N scale. Good luck to anyone using flextrack especially if going with dcc.

Outstanding !!! I love the high levels and the step down. I rode this train as a kid.

I love the layout, but I must say that I actually don't like that Kato Unitrack is becoming more popular. Yes, it is good to use, but it kinda takes the fun out of building the railroad yourself, no flex-track, no cork roadbed, and the ballast color is already chosen, so no personality in that. I am going to make an n scale layout with atlas code 55 (is that a good idea mike?) I have used kato unitrack on a layout and don't find it to be very realistic.

[mrfifer]

I agree But I wanted super reliability and to use a product I sell alot of. Atlas 55 is great track but the flex has been really hard to get.

It looks great, but how much is it (gulp)? I use E-Z track, I wanted to use no-balast track but it's too late now.

Outstanding.

@markbuell99 100% agreed. I will be using Flex track when i build my layout. I wouldn't use unitrack for anything more than a toy for a kid that's into trains. For building a layout Unitrack takes all of the creativity out of track plans in the way that you can't shape turns as uniquely, but, of course, I'm just stating the obvious.

@Video, very nice train you have there. A bit off topic (Again) but, any idea were i can get a Amtrak Superliner set? Been looking for them for ages.

Well, I do plan on ordering some MOW equipment from the shop. I just need to wait a few days. Anyway, thanks again.
