Hi!..i use Kato's unitrack on my HO scale layout....I love the track!..once installed have had Zero problems with elec pickup,derailments etc....I wi***hey had more options in their selection of track..ie crossovers etc...
I Like their track joiners very much....they do not come loose.
I have had to install flextrack in some area's where unitrack just dosen't have it
To do this..purchase code 83 track, remove kato track joiner and install code 83 joiner...Tom

Many thanks

Or, if you have several of those pre-wired pieces to place around your track, you could use those wires as feeders to a bus running under your layout. Just keep an eye on which wire goes to which bus wire so that you don't get shorts. If rail A has a wire, make sure all other rail A wires are attached (soldered) to the same bus wire, and all rail B wires to the other bus wire.
