I am considering the construction of a small layout using the Kato Unitrack system. (It's a long story on why the usual, more realistic, flexitrack would not be best in my circumstances.) I cannot find any detailed discussion about the use of this track. I have questions such as:
1) When connecting two rack sections, do you need ONE connecter which covers both rails or do you need TWO connectors, one for each rail?2) There is a special 9" track section with wire connectors to the tracks already installed. Can you install feeders on other kinds of track? I can imagine drilling small holes in the roadbed, solding wires to the tracks, and feeding the wires through the holes. BUT, will the heat of the soldering iron melt the plactic roadbed and allow the track to work free? An alternaative would be to somehow insert wire feeds at thepoint where to track sections are attached to each other. This may eliminate thee need to solder, but there may be no waay to insert a wire there. Would either of these two methods work? OR, must we feed only through the 9" feeder sections?
3) Is there any publication available that covers details such as this?Thanks, Mark Schupack
