    • Kato is the way to get started
Kato is quality from train to track for a good price. Catch it on sale if you can.

    • The hit of Christmas
The media could not be loaded. The media could not be loaded. I'm very glad that I paid up for the Kato brand, it was well worth it. This was my first N Scale purchase. My whole family got into it around the Christmas tree, 3 generations, male and female. The cars are very well detailed, dare I say gorgeous. The engine is solid and smooth, going through the range of speed without any lag or sweet spot. I've had sets in the past where there is definitely a preferred speed, this is comfortable doing whatever speed you set for it. Only a minor critique, the track is a bit cheap looking but clearly very well engineered, it works really well and seems durable. Easy set up and take down in just a few minutes. To me that is a good sacrifice for the track looking a little "plastic". The cars are what people are paying attention to anyway, they are top notch for the price. I will definitely be buying more Kato N scale to build out a larger set-up. ... show more

I am 41 years old. I have been modeling for quite a long time and love trains. So Model Railroading seemed like a natural progression for me. I did A LOT of research before purchasing this set. I read a lot about KATO and it seemed the obvious choice. Well they were NOT wrong. It is a beautiful set. The detailing on the locomotive and card is amazing. Plus the train itself comes in an awesome case for storage when you are not using it. I was blown away by the performance as well. Quiet running train, but not so quiet you cannot hear the clickety-clack of the train( I LOVE IT!!!) Unitrack is VERY easy to use. I was up and running within minutes. Very easy to follow directions and even the oval was a blast to use. I ordered the M2 and V3 kits as well along with this, but they came the day after. I now have them all up and running and currently have plans to order separate pieces of Unitrack to complete my layout. Do not hesitate, you will NOT be disappointed with KATO and its products. ... show more

    • Exceeded my expectations!
I was very surprised at the precision and overall quality of this beginner's train set. I bought it for my 16-yo son, and we were both mesmerized watching it run. It's incredibly smooth operating, and the track system is very high quality. It snaps together and separates easily. If I were going to build a large N-scale layout, I would strongly lead towards this track system. And the cost is very reasonable too! From looking at the Kato website, I think that the engine can be upgraded to include DCC, and the passenger cars can be upgraded with lighting - though those options are quite a bit more expensive. ... show more

    • The locomotive itself has a nice heavy feel to it
Extremely detailed locomotive and passenger cars. The locomotive itself has a nice heavy feel to it. The paint on all cars and locomotive has a metallic sheen. even though its plastic. The light from the locomotive is yellowish and slightly dim. Running the locomotive at full throttle the flybar makes a atrong buzzing sound. The locomotive runs smoothly even at the lowest throttle setting. The locomotive is plenty fast and can pull all passenger cars with ease. The packaging for the locomotive and cars is great, looks like a book, but when opened has foam inserts to hold these in place securely. The track is easy to connect and disconnect and makes good contact. Its flexible enough once connected. You will soon be wanting more track to run the train. Overall, I am happy with this purchase. ... show more

    • High quality train set
The media could not be loaded. Just a beautiful train set I thought N scale would be too small but it's not it's actually very convenient. I just ordered the light kits for the cars.Packaging is great. Have lots of HO trains wanted to try a N scale. Kato train set are the way to go. Track goes together super easy. Cost a little more but well worth it. ... show more
