Kato EP481-15Y

Recommended Posts

So, if I buy an EP481-15L or R, I get a bunch of extra bits thrown in: an R481-15 curve, two S64 straights, an S60L and an S60R, to guarantee being able to do all the clever things you might possibly want to.

 

So far, so good.

 

What if I buy the Y variant? Does that come with any extras?

 

I'm trying to figure out how to improve the track layout, and I'm not sure if what I want is possible (or rather, if it requires extra purchases).

The wye matches a r481-15 in each direction, so where ever you could fit one of those it will work.  Unlike the EP481-15 switches there will be no clearance issues in the ballast, so the extra pieces of track are not necessary.

  

It looks like if you use an R249-15 on the ends of the switch you can fit the kato rural platforms as an island in between the tracks.  (the top option)
