Kato Unitrack vs Bachmann EZ track (N scale)

[Brakie]

If you decide you want to operate your points remotely I've just found (tonight) a circuit diagram that shows you how to make the switches yourself without having to buy the expensive Kato ones. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://modratec.com/mud_points.php">http://modratec.com/mud_points.php</a><!-- m -->

While that is a good idea and all I can't understand why anybody would do all that wiring since Kato uses a very simple bullet proof plug and play system.

I don't think you would actually save any money after acquiring the needed items.

There are ways to beat the high cost of Unitrack..I started with the M2 set which is a basic loop with passing siding I then added 3 V3 yard switching sets which contain 3 #6 switches,switch controllers and various pieces of track.I bought these at discount and over 4 months.I bought extra track packages at discount as well.

Joe,I also decided to use the #6 switch since its no longer then a piece of 9 3/4" straight track..
