<p>[quote user="Tin can man"]</p> <p>sir madog, I have been looking at it and ive noticed that price is a drawback to it,but would you agree that the saying of "you get what you pay for" applies here. I guess my question is,Due to the fact that it is higher in price means that its a goo quality product?</p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>Sorry for coming back to your question this late.</p> <p>Yes, IMHO, Kato Unitrack is of good quality. I never had any electrical issue with it, nor any derailment. The only issue I had was one switch not working properly, but it was my fault, as ballast and glue got into the mechanism - hence my warning. I dismantled the switch, got outr the blobs of glue and ballast, and everything worked fine again.</p> <p>Kato Unitrack does not look really good without some tinkering with it. The minimum you should do is to paint the rail sides with a rusty brown color. I gave my track a spray of dark brown and added ballast, which was a bit awkward to do in N scale. But the result of this task was worth the sweat I put in - see for yourself:</p> <p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/Track3.jpg" alt=" " /></p> <p>On a finished module, the track looked like this:</p> <p><img src="http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv185/SirMadig/P1020251Bklein.jpg" alt=" " /></p>
