Model Railroading > N Scale Kato Unitrak QuestionDate: 03/29/15 16:02 N Scale Kato Unitrak Question Author: dheider123 I built a small RR for my grandson using N Scale Kato Unitrak. It is powered by DC. How do I make the #6 switches non-power routing? Would the procedure be similar to Peco Electro frog track. Any help would be appreciated.
Date: 03/29/15 18:03 Re: N Scale Kato Unitrak Question Author: northridgeswitcher I have been a Unitrack user in N for quite awhile, my suggestion would be to leave the switches as is but use the KA-24-816 installed Unijoniers to isolate the sides of the switch (I assume that would be the diverging route) you want to create a separate power block for (since you said you are DC).
Hope this helps... Northridge Switcher Date: 03/30/15 08:45 Re: N Scale Kato Unitrak Question Author: PLERR Another option would be to use a #4 turnout. Both power routing and frogs can be changed with the turn of a screw. No idea why Kato didn't build that option into the #6...

Since their long range plan is to offer more Unitrack products there might be a chance that the #6 will get the change also. Northridge Switcher |
