M1 basic oval starter track set with controller

The box arrived in good order, just a week after ordering it from Cheltenham Model Centre, and a week sooner than was estimated. I was aware that the Kato track was good stuff, but this quality and design far exceeds my expectations. I have been modelling using Peco track for about 25 years, and have scars to prove it. Peco is fine, and flexible and realistic, but especially for N guage, it is not easy or quick to get going with. I bought this set purely to have a flexible to use test track. However, I'm now seriously thinking of developing a proper layout using Kato Unitrack. Even on a deep-pile rug, connectivity is smooth and consistent, and my normally problematic locos now run as smoothly as my best runners. The Kato controller seems much flimsier than my heavy-duty Gaugemaster units, but the fine control is just as good. This track is much more expensive than the likes of Peco, but if what you enjoy is running trains, rather than constantly problem-solving, it's worth it. Also, the track looks good and you can barely see the joins. 10 out of 10 for both Kato and Cheltenham Model Centre.

A brilliant track set up,very easy to use

I need this as a test track for continuous running - for 'running in' locomotives after repair / adjustment. Lovely set - as only the Japanese can do really well. Packaging is superb - strong, sturdy box with carry-handle, polystyrene inner with recesses for all track components and ancillary electrical boxes and leads. Track clips together for perfect alignment of rails and electrical continuity. No tools required - everything clips together. Item arrived as notified. Really simple to set up and to strike down at end of session. The Kato brand is highly recommended.
