Kato's #6 Unitrack turnout is the go-to switch for smooth, reliable N scale mainline trackwork, and this version dresses it up with urethane ties. They copy the synthetic composite ties modern railroads now lay in place of wood, with brown ties set on gray ballast for a more up-to-date look. Under the new ties it works exactly like the standard Kato 20-203: a gentle 718mm (28 1/4") diverging radius that long equipment handles with ease, and a built-in switch machine hidden beneath the roadbed. Specifications Brand Kato Item Number 20-215 (Kato EP718-15RPC) Scale N (1:160) Type #6 electric turnout, right hand Length 186mm (7 5/16") Diverging Route 718mm (28 1/4") radius, 15 degrees Ties Urethane (synthetic) ties on gray ballasted roadbed Switch Machine Built in, with lead wire and plug, plus a manual throw lever Power Routing Only the route the turnout is set for is powered Control Kato 24-840 Turnout Control Switch (sold separately) In the Package 1 turnout with lead wire UPC 4949727695266 Condition New Features Urethane ties model the synthetic composite ties used on modern railroads, a better match for present-day layouts than the standard brown wood-tie turnout. Broad 718mm (28 1/4") diverging radius keeps long passenger cars and modern freight running smoothly through the switch. Built-in switch machine sits under the roadbed with no bulky motor beside the track, and a manual lever lets you throw it by hand. Power routing turnout, so a train parked on the unselected route sits dead. Handy for simple sidings without extra wiring. Designed to go with Kato's new concrete-tie Unitrack, and joins all standard Unitrack with UniJoiners. Frequently Asked Questions What else do I need to throw it electrically?A Kato 24-840 Turnout Control Switch, sold separately. It plugs into the turnout lead wire. If you are not using a Kato power pack, Kato's 24-842 adapter connects the switch to other power supplies. How is this different from the Kato 20-203?Only the look. Geometry, the switch machine and electrical behavior are the same. The 20-203 has brown wood-style ties, while the 20-215 has urethane ties. How do I build a siding or a double track crossover with it?Add a 718mm (28 1/4") radius 15 degree curve to the diverging leg. That brings the track back parallel at Kato's standard 49.5mm double track spacing. Will it work on a DCC layout?Yes. The track works on DC or DCC. To throw the turnout from your DCC system, wire the switch machine to a stationary accessory decoder instead of the 24-840. Is the left-hand version available?Yes, the Kato 20-214 is the matching left-hand turnout, linked below.

This is the matching curve for Kato's Narrow Gauge Unitrack #4 turnouts. Each piece is a 481mm (19") radius, 15 degree section on 9mm gauge roadbed with tie spacing scaled for HOe, HOn30 and OO-9 models, and the pack gives you four of them. Use one after a 52-300 or 52-301 turnout to bring the diverging track back parallel, or join several for broad sweeping curves on a narrow gauge layout. Specifications Brand Kato Item Number 52-250 (Kato NR481-15) Scale HOe / HOn30 (1:87) and OO-9 (1:76) narrow gauge Track Gauge 9mm Radius 481mm (19") Angle 15 degrees per piece Quantity 4 pieces Roadbed Gray ballasted Unitrack roadbed with narrow gauge tie spacing UPC 4949727703619 Condition New Features 15 degree sections match the diverging route of the Kato 52-300 and 52-301 #4 electric turnouts. First 15 degree curve in the Narrow Gauge Unitrack line, so you can build sidings and passing loops that line up. Tie spacing scaled for narrow gauge models rather than N scale. Snaps together with UniJoiners. No nails, glue or ballasting needed. Frequently Asked Questions How many pieces make a full circle?Each piece is 15 degrees, so 24 pieces (six packs) make a full 360 degree circle. Why do I need this with the #4 turnout?The turnout sends the diverging track off at 15 degrees. One of these curves turned the other way brings it back parallel to the main line for a siding or passing track. Will it join my N scale Unitrack?Yes, it uses the same 9mm gauge and UniJoiners. The ties are spaced for narrow gauge, so it looks a little different next to N scale track.

The XJ Cherokee defined the 1980s American driveway, and PCX87 captures it at 1:87 in black with gold bodyside pinstriping, gold-finish alloy wheels and 4x4 badging on the rear quarter. It arrives fully assembled and decorated, so it goes straight from the box to a parking lot, a grade crossing or a suburban street scene. Because it is a plain civilian car rather than a work vehicle, it fills the role most layouts are short of: ordinary traffic. Its companion in the same PCX87 run is the California Highway Patrol Cherokee, PCX870730, and the two look right parked in the same scene. Specifications Manufacturer PCX87 (Premium ClassiXXs) Item Number PCX870728 Scale HO Scale (1:87) Prototype 1984 Jeep Cherokee XJ Finish Black with gold pinstriping and gold alloy wheels Assembly Fully assembled and decorated Material ABS plastic Approximate Length 2 inches Era Modern, mid 1980s onward Condition New in manufacturer packaging UPC 4052176847381 Features Ready to place on the layout. No assembly, painting or decals. Gold bodyside pinstripe and gold-finish alloy wheels, printed and tooled rather than applied by hand. Printed "Cherokee" and 4x4 badging, legible at normal viewing distance. Clear glazing all round with a printed interior visible through it. Separately detailed grille, bumpers and light lenses. Fine ABS plastic tooling that holds crisper edges and lighter weight than a die-cast body of the same size. Correct 1:87 proportions, so it sits right next to HO figures, structures and rolling stock. PCX87 is the plastic 1:87 line from Premium ClassiXXs, sold in North America through Walthers. More in This Series PCX87 PCX870730, 1984 Jeep Cherokee SUV, California Highway Patrol Frequently Asked Questions Is this a kit?No. It comes fully assembled and decorated. Take it out of the packaging and set it down. Is it die-cast or plastic?Plastic. PCX87 tools these in ABS rather than metal, which is how they hold this much printed detail at 1:87. How big is it?About 2 inches long, correct 1:87 scale for an HO layout. Do the wheels roll?Yes, but treat it as an adult collectible display model rather than a toy. It is not built for play or for children. What year does this fit?The XJ Cherokee ran from 1984 well into the 1990s with few visual changes, so it suits any layout set from the mid 1980s onward.

Broadway Limited puts a matched pair of Chesapeake & Ohio class H2a three-bay hoppers on your N scale layout, road numbers 379701 and 379927. Both cars are fully assembled and decorated in the black-with-white scheme carrying the "C and O for Progress" herald, and each one ships with a removable coal load already dropped in. This is Pack B, the companion release to 7152 Pack A, so running the two sets together gives you four individually numbered cars for a believable coal drag. The H2a was the workhorse of Appalachian coal railroading. Norfolk & Western rostered them by the thousands, and neighboring roads including the C&O owned or leased near-identical cars, which is why a string of these looks right behind almost any steam or early diesel power on an eastern coal line. Specifications Manufacturer Broadway Limited Imports Item Number 7153 Scale N Scale (1:160) Car Type Class H2a 3-Bay Open Hopper Road Name Chesapeake & Ohio (C&O) Road Numbers 379701 and 379927 Paint Scheme Black with white lettering, 2-pack B Cars Included 2 Body Material ABS plastic body with ABS chassis Wheels Metal wheels and axles Couplers Operating knuckle couplers Coal Load Removable Rail Compatibility Code 55, 70 and 80 Minimum Operating Radius 9 inches Era 1949 to 1970 Condition New, factory sealed UPC 836563071535 Features Two cars per pack, each carrying its own road number so no two cars in your consist match. Completely assembled and decorated at the factory. Nothing to build, paint or letter. Plastic (ABS) body on an ABS chassis, with crisp rivet, side-post and end-ladder detail. Metal wheels and axles milled for smooth, low-friction rolling and better electrical pickup on your track. Detailed underbody and detailed hopper interior, both visible in normal viewing. Removable coal load, so the same cars can run loaded on the way out and empty on the way back. Operating knuckle couplers work straight out of the box with other knuckle-equipped N scale rolling stock. Operates on Code 55, 70 and 80 rail with a minimum radius of 9 inches, so it fits compact layouts as well as large ones. More in This Series These hoppers were built to run in blocks. Add the matching packs to build a full coal train: Broadway Limited 7152, C&O Black & White, 2-pack A Broadway Limited 7154, Chessie System (C&O), 2-pack A Broadway Limited 7155, Chessie System (C&O), 2-pack B Broadway Limited 7156, Western Maryland Billboard, 2-pack A Broadway Limited 7157, Western Maryland Billboard, 2-pack B Frequently Asked Questions Do I need to assemble or paint anything?No. Both cars come completely assembled and decorated with metal wheelsets and working couplers installed. Set them on the rails and go. Which road numbers are in this pack?C&O 379701 and C&O 379927. Pack A (item 7152) carries two different numbers again, so buying both packs gives you four unique cars. Will these run on my track?Yes on Code 55, Code 70 and Code 80 rail. The cars need a minimum radius of 9 inches, which most N scale track plans clear easily. Can I run them empty?Yes. The coal load lifts out, so you can alternate loaded and empty moves on the same layout session. What era do these fit?The black scheme with the "C and O for Progress" herald fits roughly 1949 through 1970, which covers late steam, the transition era and first-generation diesels.
