Video: Kato N scale Chicago Metra model train set
Instructive & entertaining. Its been a long time since I’ve considered n scale. Good job.
I wish they would make a set like that in HO.
Great job made it look easy.
If I were to consider N, the ease of assembly is impressive.
Great introduction Dana!!! I have been using KATO Unitrak for over 10 years and have a complete layout using DCC. I have never had one problem with Unitrak. It is extremely reliable and is well adapted to DCC. I have over 20 turnouts on my layout and they all work without problems. I even have a reverse loop that does not present any problems. I know that KATO is expensive but it is worth it and I have never had any connection problems. I love the new METRA product although I am not fond of the paint job. It is on my wish list for the Spring. Once again, thanks for a really good introduction for those who have no idea of how great KATO Unitrak is to use and its reliability.
If I was in N scale I would want one of these!
Nice job Dana, thanks for the great demo!
It wasn’t terribly clear to me what lights were on/off as the unit changed from one direction to the other. Maybe its my old eyes, but it would have been better for me if the actual light(s) was/were indicated by a pointer of some kind.
iIm a HO guy.
This looks to be a good beginner set that will interest junior members of the N-scale community.
very nice explanation! thanks.
Looks easy, wish I was into N scale.
Great video. I wish Kato offered DCC locomotives with and w/o sound.
The set up was simple to do. It might be nice to show other Kato products intregrated in the loop. Things like switches, signals, etc.
I really enjoyed your setup presentation. It was clean and to the point, very well done. I wished every setup was that simple.
nice
very nice setup
Nice train set ,track and rerailer especially interesting.
I rode the metra trains for over 11 years. It started out with CMSt Paul rr on the north line. I road from Grayland to Round Lake. After Metra took over I traveled for 8 more years. I played poker at night. It was 44 miles from stop to stop. I really enjoyed the time. Then I changed jobs and I nolonger could ride the rails.
