About the Kato Unitrack: It is a roadbed track similar to that offered by Bachmann and LifeLike, but of seemingly higher quality (it is sturdy and well made). That is currently what I have available as my "layout." I set it up on my floor, run my trains for a while, then put it all away. For this type of use, it is indispensible (at least in my book). When I finally get around to building my permanent layout (if there really is such a thing), I will use cork roadbed and flex track. With the Unitrack, as well as the cork/flex track, the one thing that can make them appear more realistic is the use of ballast over the roadbed. With ballast, the Unitrack looks very realistic, at least from the pictures I've seen. One advantage to the Kato Unitrack is that on the electrically operated turnouts, the motor can be placed under the roadbed. This works well for concealment. The biggest disadvantages to the Unitrack are that the selection of available track (by shape, etc.) is limited and the higher overall cost. <br /> <br />Hope this helps.
