Kato to Bachmann HO adapter
Posted by slim jim on Sunday, October 30, 2016 12:27 PM

SmileI am new to the group. Please bear with me. Does anyone know where I can get an adapter to hook Kato HO track to Backmann?

Dosn't exist, if you want to do that you will have to hack your own.

I think you will run into problems trying to fabricate this.  For one bachmann is code 100 Kato is Code 83.  

If I were going to this I think I would join the two tracks with a piece of regular non roadbed track and Atlas code 100 to 83 rail joiners Use a piece of cork road bed under the track to level it.

Or you can do what I am doing on the SIW and relegate the EZ track to static displays as I use flex track on the layout.
