Hesitated a while before buying the Kato ramp mainly due to having the rerailer track segments incorporated on the layout. Upon deciding to do some temporary layouts, wanted a little more flexibility for placing locos on track. This handy ramp works quite well and now on occasion, even use on permanent layout instead of the rerailer track. The Kato ramp is much easier than rerailer track when placing longer locos and rolling stock on the rails.
