Hi all!
Anyone else used it? I've just bought a starter kit today, and I must say it's very good! It's easy to set up, doesn't require permanence, and the bonus for me is that it will now take me less time to create working layouts in Durham of a weekend!
It's by Kato, a Japanese company, and is apparently the most popular track system in Japan. All accessories et al are in Japanese, but with good pictures. The only stockist I've found (cos they are the sole official stockist in the UK) are MG Sharp, of Attercliffe, Sheffield. www.mgsharp.com.
It works with generally whatever controller you've got...although you might have to disassemble the odd plastic plug first, and comes in both N and OO. There are also track sections that allow you to connect unitrack to whatever track you might currently have using standard fishplates (instead of the unijoiners)
All I can say is take a look at the pictures, and if you think it might suit you (not a lot of room, short time layouts down) try it...I like it!
I was just wondering if anyone else had used it!
Cheers
Dave
