<p>[quote user="richhotrain"]</p> <p>But, I was hoping to hear better reports on the Kato Unitrack. <img style="display:inline;" alt="Sigh" /></p> <p>Rich</p> <div style="clear:both;"> </div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p> </p> <p>Rich,</p> <p>I think if you asked which is better, Kato Unitrack or flex track, you'd get a lot of posts with varying opinions that really wouldn't end up telling you anything except there are arguments for both.</p> <p>I spent quite a bit of time considering which to use before making the choice to go with flex track. I'm convinced that, for me, it was the right decision.</p> <p>The Peco code 55 I chose is a little tedious to work with because there's a rail embedded in the ties for strength. That makes it more difficult to do curves.</p> <p>But, like any flex track, after a little while you learn what to do to get it to work and after that it's no big deal.</p> <p>The other option would be to use code 80. I haven't worked with it myself, but I'm sure there are others on this forum who have and would be able to provide some feedback.</p> <p>Perhaps you could get a bit of Unitrack and flex and try them out.</p> <p>Obviously, the Unitrack is simpler to use than flex, but I wouldn't jump into it for that reason alone.</p> <p>In the long run, I'm sure you'll probably be happier with the one you think looks the best.</p> <p> </p>
