Dear N Scalers: Kato has announced some new additional Unitrack
Sets. One interesting sets has banked curved track to simulate
prototype curved track like actual tack profiles. Have a look.
New N scale Superelevated Track
Impressions from Kato
Kato recently recieved a few samples of the latest
additions to their N scale Unitrack line: the V11 and V12
Double track Super Elevated track sets. These track sets recreate
the effect of Superelevation on rails; what this means is that
corners are "banked", with the outer rail being posted higher than
the inner rail. In the real world, this is designed for high-speed
trains, lessening the stress on the trucks and train through turns
and allowing them to take the curves at greater speeds. The overall
effect is both subtle yet stunning to watch, and we eagerly
anticipate bringing this new N Unitrack to North America!
Here is a full list of all the new Kato Sets
Our latest innovation in Unitrack are our M (Master) and V
(Variation) Unitrack sets; these sets provide the backbone of your
layout and then allow you to easily expand from there with an
all-in-one-box solution, making it simple for those who are getting
into the hobby as well as those who are looking to add to their
existing layouts!
The Master series sets (as well as our P42 Superliner Starter
Set) provide everything you need to create a basic layout; an oval
of track, a powerpack, tools such as our re-railer, and in the case
of our Starter Set, a beginning consist of a locomotive and three
Amtrak passenger cars.
The Variation series sets are designed to complement the Master
series sets, containing complete layout sections such as passing
sidings, elevated viaducts and bridges, rail yards, crossovers, and
inner and outer track loops. Each box is complete with every part
necessary to build the individual track component, and has listings
of possible track combinations on the back to get you started.
