Welcome to the Forum
You'll find a load of keen Kato users on the Forum and a load of keen Peco users - should be an interesting discussion..

Size matters - especially if you don't have a lot of space - and N gauge is the answer!

I would work out your track plan first then you will have a good idea what Kato Untitrack you would need and cost that out, then do the same adding your setrack. That way you will save time and money.

Cheers John.

Don't mind Scotsoft :no: He really meant to say flexitrack, not set track.
Can we ask what size space you have available to build a layout in?

DC or DCC, that is the question.

That's a good size for N but please ensure you can reach all areas of the baseboard as things have a habit of going wrong in the most awkward of places :doh:

Yes. Forum members with experience fitting in these dimensions should be able to elucidate.

Geez, did I really come out with that?!

No.... the NGF, more like.  :D Didn't do any good on the Melbourne Cup, either.... though Mrs B did.

Anyway, the  dimensions  should be ok?

I have joined Peco up with Kato but you have to remember that Kato track is about 3.3mm higher than Peco track so bear that in mind, are you going DC or DCC with your track, there is plenty of knowledge on the forum about Kato track and any problems let us know.
