My dad is an n-scale hobbiest. I was reluctant until he got me this set for Christmas. You can set this track and train up nearly anywhere and it runs perfect. For anyone that is new to trains or left the hobby due to complications, this is the way to go!

This was my first n scale purchase. Kato did not disappoint. I have since graduated to a larger layout and DCC controller, however, I still use every component of this start up package. The loco has been converted to DCC and look stunning running around my layout. Don't be fooled, This is a starter set, but nothing about the loco is inferior. It is a highly detailed model. The track has been incorporated into my layout. I also still use the analogue power pack to test and brake in new locos prior to installing DCC in them. This is a wonderful little start up pack with lots of room for expansion.

This is my first foray into N Gauge, and the Kato brand. I'm very impressed. The quality of every component in this set is top-notch. The locomotive is very quiet and smooth throughout the entire range from slow to fast. Notably, it crawls along steadily even at very low speeds. The included cars match reference photos of the real train perfectly. The overall fit, finish, and printing are as good as I've ever seen. The N Unitrack is very easy to set up and use. The included controller is also very nice, with smooth step-less speed control. Simple and effective. I'm now hooked on the gauge, and the brand. This set is high quality in every aspect, and the train itself with all the sleek streamlined cars is a real beauty.
