New Track Sections and Corrections

New

• Kato Unitrack N: 808 mm Flex Track with wooden ties (21-000) and concrete ties (21-001), both without ballast. Also included is the joint ballast 20-099, the 20 mm long transition piece from Kato between the flexible track and Unitrack. You can find the flexible track in the “Tracks” tool under “Flexible.”
• LGB: K-type turnaround track (diode track, 150 mm) from the turnaround set 10151, formerly 1015K. The T-shaped separator track in the set is the existing separator track 10152. The search function also finds this track under the old part numbers 1015K, 1015T, and 1000KW.
• Walthers H0 Code 83: the double track connector #6 948-83051 (“braces”) and the track connectors #6 left (948-83075) and right (948-83076), track spacing 2" (51 mm).
• Kato Unitrack N: the #4 left (20-230) and right (20-231) track connectors, 248 mm long, track spacing 33 mm.
• Minitrix: the R3/R4 curved turnouts with polarized heart piece, left (14947) and right (14948), 30°. They have the same shape as their predecessors, 14981 and 14983. The predecessors and the E-turnouts 14970/14971 are no longer available in stores; they are now listed in the catalog in their own group, “No Longer Available,” and the parts list specifies their successors.
• Piko A: the R3/R4 curved turnouts, left (55227) and right (55228), 30°. Both tracks have radius R3 (483.75 mm); the outer track begins after 61.88 mm of straight track, as with 55427/55428 in A-gauge with ballast. An import from SCARM now also includes this turnout.
• Bemo H0m: the 500-mm flex track (4284000) and the plastic RhB buffer stop (6527000), which you place at the end of the track. Bemo no longer sells the 500-mm flex track; it is listed in the catalog under the “No Longer Available” category.

Corrected

• Track Connections: Twelve items were listed as crossings or DKWs, even though they are track connections. The items affected are Bachmann E-Z Track 44137/44138, Shinohara 109, 110, and 112, Peco N Code 55 SL-E383F, Kato Unitrack N 20-210, Bemo H0m 4214000, Pilz TT 83211, Roco H0 2.5 mm 42322/42323, and TOMIX Fine Track N 1247. The catalog and parts list now refer to them as track connectors. In driving mode, you can switch each track connection with a single tap: “straight” leaves both tracks open, “branching” opens the diagonal track, and for the double track connection, both tracks open.
