Kato Railroad Track

Laying turnouts and crossings is the fiddliest part of building a right of way. This WalthersTrack roadbed pad is preformed to the exact footprint of a Code 83 No. 6 left-hand turnout, so there is no cutting cork into wedges and no sanding to blend the profile. You drop it in place, lay the turnout on top, and move on. It is made from the same dense, sound-absorbing closed-cell foam as the rest of the WalthersTrack roadbed range, and it matches standard HO cork roadbed profiles, so it blends straight into an existing mainline without a step or a dip.

The Kato 24-840BK turnout control switch lets you throw Kato Unitrack electric turnouts from your control panel instead of reaching across the layout. It clips onto the side of a Kato power pack, and the turnout lead wire plugs straight into the back. The same switch works with both N scale and HO scale Unitrack electric turnouts. This is the current black version of Kato's long-running 24-840 switch, with the same function as the earlier model. Specifications Brand Kato Item Number 24-840BK Scale N and HO (Kato Unitrack) Type Turnout control switch, one per electric turnout Mounting Clips onto the side of Kato power packs, and onto other 24-840BK switches Connection Plug-in socket for the Unitrack turnout lead wire In the Package 1 switch, number labels Color Black UPC 4949727695068 Condition New Features Flip the lever to throw a Kato Unitrack electric turnout. One switch controls one turnout. Clips directly onto the side of Kato power packs such as the Power Pack SX, so there is no separate panel to build. Switches clip together side by side to make a bank of controls for a larger layout. Number labels included so you can mark which switch runs which turnout. Plug-in connection. The turnout lead wire plugs into the switch with no soldering. Frequently Asked Questions How many switches do I need?One for each electric turnout you want to throw from the control panel. Does it work with N scale and HO scale turnouts?Yes. Kato N scale and HO scale Unitrack electric turnouts use the same plug, so this one switch covers both. Can I use it without a Kato power pack?Yes. Kato's 24-842 adapter connects the switch to other power supplies. Is this the same as the blue 24-840?It does the same job. The black 24-840BK is the version Kato currently makes.
