I recently setup an oval so my kids could run the N Scale stuff we've been given by some friends of ours. I've wired an HO layout before (many, many, many moons ago) but for some reaons I felt completely lost looking at the N scale track. [:I] <br /> <br />I had gone to the hobby store, picked up some track, but kept putting it off. Finally one day I took a trip to the local hobbystore and took another look at the KATO Unitrack. It's simplicity was really appealing. I picked up the basic set, brought it home, dug out one of my old power packs (Tech II Railmaster 2400) from the boxes of HO stuff I have and within a couple of minutes, I had it up and running. <br /> <br />Besides the problem I had with the couplers, it's been fun running this. My youngest son will sit for over an hour running the train, putting on more cars, etc. I wouldn't mind making something bigger, but I'm wondering -- should I buy more of the KATO stuff or go for the full blown tabletop nail down the track sort of layout? Over time how does the KATO Unitrack work out? Has anyone used this stuff before and run into any problems and/or fustrations?
