Nice demo of the Kato Compact Track set. One quibble -- it's pronounced "Kah-toe" not "Kay-toe". A tip about the track - separate it by bending horizontally, not pulling or flexing vertically. I've been playing around with the Compact Track a lot lately. It's surprising how much equipment will run on it. Most shorter 4-axle diesels (F units, GP20 and earlier) run fine even (or particularly) with body mount couplers. Most 40' and 50' freight cars with body mount couplers too. I have even got Bachmann 60' passenger cars fitted with body mount couplers to work well. Some equipment *does* need tuning, but that's part of the challenge/fun. Mixing body mount and talgo (truck mounted) couplers is asking for trouble, as you saw with the Atlas Dash-8 and a couple of random talgo equipped cars.

Can you leave a link to the 12v car charger?

Omg I love the music! It makes me so happy! 🤗

I have the bachmann spectrum 44 ton switcher in the santa fe black by the way you may have not noticed but the bachmann spectrum version has 2 open frame motors and the modern take has 1 seald can motor in the middle with drive shafts to the bogies

29:35 i enjoyed the video at 4 am

I love the fact you showed dcc on your channel

Great video leeway models

By the way when will the b4 sussex review come out

Hey can you do a c62 locomotive next

Could you please review dapol b4 sussex

by the way tomix got a licence to sell in australia a few months ago

When will the next video come out

8:46 i really like the attention they had to details on the way that they put that sticker extremely straight you know this really feels like a model that a you know would be very very in it's place on a very serious modellers dream layout 😂😅

B/o stands for Baltimore and ohio

Could you please review the kato p42 in n scale

If you are into portable power stations and or model trains come to leeway models

I have one of those models lovely livery it's a pity about the lights maybe I'll fit lights later on cheers Pat Quinn IRL

This is the first video i seen on this channel and it got me hooked I'm so surprised that you only have like 700 subs i expect you to have at least 10k very underrated and keep up the good videos cheers from trains are great

When you see something from kato or tomix you know it will be good

This is a really cool set but my favourite is got to be the tomix n guage basic set sd e235 system yamanote line 90175 model train

i am very surprised and impressed that it runs on the kato cv1 compact track set

I love it

I love that loco even though I don't have one

I love this set and am tempted to buy. One question - is the oval that it comes with larger or smaller than the oval you demonstrate with at the end ? Thanks

Tuff choice, I think you get more track with the Kato sets, but Tomix seems to have more availability locally. I have a lean towards the Tomix " Blue train " The price is good, and you get 4 cars plus loco. Then some extra track I can keep to about $ 300 Australia with free delivery . Many thanks for review.

It's really cool

FYI those power packs as shown are definitely not the same, you focused on the 1000mA aspect being the same, but the fatter one output AC power, where as the skinnier one had a DC output. Now DC is on the tracks of course, but the older controls converted to DC in the controller, where as the newer one apparently does it before. Don't mix them up, you will blow something.

the bogie for the flatbed car uses the extinct Bandai bogie T set. there is also a Bandai power unit which has all axle drive, but it too is extinct.

To improve performance on Lima ringfield motors I advise using technical petroleum jelly grease on the gears and on the axle pick-ups and a tiny drop of a mix of technical petroleum jelly and sewing machine oil on the rotor bearings. Technical support jelly grease reduces noise and improves conductivity.

I love the Japanese train videos you make In fact my favourite trains are Japanese n guage

I like it

If you don't mind me asking what music is in the video

To be that old and be in that shape! not bad at all!

Do you have any Canadian locomotives

I think this channel is very underrated you make very good content

Translate using Google lens

I want to see a review of the 44 ton switcher in green

The text on the side of the locomotive says Ukraine

If you don't mind me asking what's the music in the video

i found your channel today and i am really enjoying it

Well i watched till the end

I am so surprised that the tomix train worked on the compact track

I like the fact that they are holes for nails on the tomix track

Kato make an adapter to adapt from kato unitrack to tomix track

In my opinion the Japanese make amazing models

You can use google lens to translate from Japanese to English

I have this 313 train. Thanks for this, I have no idea where I got it nor did I know it was Tomix. I converted it to DCC and it runs great. Great informative video.

Horse carriage-type I like this! amazing😃

Thanks, Liked the video, it can always take a little fiddling to get a train running when first setting up.
