Thank you for sharing this. This is very cool. I didn’t know that this product existed. Not all Kato products are marketed in the U.S. I have ridden the streetcars in Hiroshima and Osaka.
Question: Does it power both tracks at the same time? Can I power both tracks in opposite direction? In other words, if I put 2 trains on different tracks, can they run in opposite direction?
Yes, you can separate the straights completely from the roads, and in the curves there is a small pieces of asphalt remaining, to make them compatible with the switches
Is there really no wheels under the center support? I get how they can get away with that with a tiny model, but for a full sized tram that articulation joints surely aren't strong enough to hold the entire middle section up is it?
KATO has alway had innovative and quality products! Thanks for the video.
Thanks for your comment. Indeed Kato products are beautiful and high quality.

Thanks for your comment. Curiously there is the US version of this set with right hand drive streets :)
i love the powerthing's design. i only see the twisty boring type knob things around here.
Runs like a Swiss watch ... now we need buildings and people .
@@trevorgwelch7412 works very smooth indeed. I'm in love with this system
Do the building sections have holes for wiring to light buildings and street lights? Thank you I have 2 my trams 1 red 1 blue
Hello, no. They don't have any system that allow lighting. You have to do it yourself

Every track is feeded separately. They work independently, so you can run trams in opposite directions
Great video! Can the tracks and roadway pieces be separated? Thanks!

Thanks for uploading, this is fantastic. Very helpful, I want to buy one (or two?).
Mega Cute!
Is the Kato suply conected to VietNam use?
Hello, the power supply is 100-240VAC 50-60HZ. It should be compatible

Hello. Yes, there are no wheels in the middle section.
Hello - with it set out like this - how long and wide is it? I want to know if it fits in the space between a V11 and V14 loop - so about 450mm
Assembled size is 682 x 620mm
Is Kato going to make switches ? they are hard to find
Hopefully. I'm also waiting for them :)
They make switches, i have several and still can buy them some places
Unitrack system
Is this considered N scale?
Yes, it is N scale. You can run other N scale trains in the same track
@@nihondensha8403 sweet thanks for the response.
@@Quincy556 my pleasure
The roundabouts are the wrong direction. They're anti-clockwise and the should be clockwise.
Nice
Question is kato track compatible with Tomix track thanks
