Kato N scale electric turnouts are very ingeniously designed and work very well. The one I ordered is doing fine and came with additional fitter tracks to make it easy to make a spur or a connecting track. I had a turnout like this that I purchased from a local hobby shop. Shortly after the owner retired and the shop closed it stopped working. The motor works and moves but the mechanism does not move the rails any more. I took it apart and examined it for issues and found none. I am hoping that this one will be as durable as the ones I bought years ago that are still working perfectly. I do recommend that you gently file the rail ends to remove tiny burrs and put on a small angled edge to make trains pass over the rail joints more smoothly and quietly and to help prevent derailments. Actually, you should do this with all the trackage on your model railroad regardless of brand for the same reasons. Enjoy!!Read full review

My copy ran almost perfect right out of the box, with excellent throttle response at minimum current - it should have super low speed creep once truly broken in. Well designed for a tank locomotive, always a challenge given the potential problems with electrical contact. Amazing detail for such a small model, with cab detail as well as all the "bells and whistles" on the boiler. I hate to admit it, but I bought this to kitbash into a U. S. prototype logging locomotive - now I am almost afraid to risk ruining such a jewel! Typical quality Kato product. Anyone wishing to run this as a Japanese Ry. prototype or for alteration to European or American practice should be pleased.

Another quality product from Kato. This turnout allows you to expand your layout from a simple circle, to a more complex layout with spurs for industries or staging yards. The price is comparable to most retail stores and the speed of shipping is awesome. I would highly recommend this product to anyone starting out in the hobby or for those who are expanding.

A quality product from a reputable manufacter, It is a very important component of any train layout. This switch allows the model railroad enthuiast to start awitching cars for local industries or to expand yard space and operations.

I revised my layout with this and two other turnouts. The change has been great, greater after I add the additional track pieces to complete the new sidings.

Exactly as expected. Extremely detailed and smooth running model. Best compact n scale JNR locomotive in my opinion.
