Amazing upgrade for switching on your countertop
This set easily adds a yard to any existing layout. With a little creativity, you can fit it inside or outside a loop. As long as you have at least one extra #6 right turnout, you can flip this yard to branch to the right instead of the left, otherwise you must use it as shown in the illustration to get the full 3 tracks.The only slight negative is that the buffer stops will cause derailments if you actually hit them. So they keep the cars from going off the end, at the expense of sending them off the side. This is worse with very light cars, and cars with truck-mounted couplers, like the cars in the Kato starter sets.Upgrades to consider: Extension wires for the electric control, an extra right #6 turnout so you can flip the yard to the other side, and magnetic decouplers (not amazing with Kato couplers, but very good with Micro-Trains couplers).

Well made and fully functional
Normal Kato excellent quality. Well made and fully functional. I am mostly a Kato n-scale layout so this switch fully integrated with no problem. In fact, it was temporarily integrated into my layout the day I received it. Very happy with it.

Quick delivery on a hard to find product.
Excellent vendor! The track was delivered faster than expected, considering it came from Japan. The package was well done and the original box was in perfect condition. While this is a KATO product, I really appreciated this vendor’s attention to detail and expedience.

Yard set makes it easy to expand track plans.
Kato N unitrack is a quality product. Easy to set up and take apart if needed. Track with attached roadbed looks good also. Quality N scale track that is easy to use for beginners and experienced modelers.Switching yard set adds interest and switch is easily controlled manually or with included remotes.

Adds a lot to a basic layout.
We wanted to add switches to a basic track oval and are new to model railroading, so just feeling our way along. I ordered a single switch and one switch controller along with 1 DC adapter to connect to our older non-Kato track controller. We found that the switch has a way of manually changing direction, so could use it manually even before we got the DC adapter. We learned a lot with the first switch and then ordered the rail yard switching set. We should have just gotten it first. It’s a great set and adds a lot of fun. It’s everything you need to expand the layout, with track, wiring, switch control for each one and buffers.

Excellent product
This kit bundles parts needed for yards on the n scale Kato Unitrack layout! The product came quickly. The box Nile gets a decent price break over the components separately.
