Kato UNITRACK Concrete Ties: Double Track Straight (2) – 1:160 Scale | KAT20004

Overview

Kato UNITRACK introduces a concrete-tie option for the Double Track Straight pieces, blending a modern look with dependable performance. The pre-cast concrete ties create a subtle, industrial aesthetic that helps differentiate banked or eased sections from standard track, while staying fully compatible with your existing UNITRACK layout. This is a modeling accessory designed to complement your rail scenes without implying a toy experience.

What you get and how it works

Included are two double-track straight sections featuring concrete ties that align with the familiar UNITRACK connection system. They’re designed for 1:160 scale modeling (UK models at 1:148), ensuring consistent proportions with your current fleet of UNITRACK pieces and bridges. The pieces can be added to existing layouts to expand straight runs or bridge transitions with ease.

• Realistic texture and color that evoke real track infrastructure
• Complete compatibility with regular UNITRACK components and bridges
• Clear differentiation for elevated or banked sections within a plan

Key benefits for your layout

• Modular easement support for smoother transitions between radii
• Superelevated curves that imply natural rail flow without rewiring your current setup
• New packaging and retail-ready presentation for easy handling and storage

Real-world use cases

Consider using the two-pack to extend a straightaway, connect a curving segment, or create a small sidetrack in an industrial scene. The concrete-tie look pairs well with weathered ballast, miniature maintenance sheds, and figures that depict everyday rail activity, helping your dioramas feel more tactile and believable.

Notes on safety and compatibility

These pieces are intended for modeling use and are not designed as toys. They work with standard UNITRACK double and single track sections, as well as UNITRACK bridges, so you can mix them into existing layouts without removing or replacing other components.

Specifications and packaging

Scale is 1:160 (UK models 1:148). The set is brand-new inside retail packaging and is suitable for hobbyists aged 8 and up. This packaging-forward presentation helps ensure you receive a pristine, ready-to-install product.
