Recommended Posts

Hello, i am new to this forum, and I'm gonna ask my first question, I want to model British Railways, But british Style track is not available where i live, and Peco Us or atlas track look awful with British Rolling stock, but i like the look of Kato HO Scale Unitrack for 00 gauge, and its easy to get by me. So can i ask if someone has used it on a scenic 00 gauge Model railway, if so how does it look.

Although not a UK modeller I see your problem.

 

I would go for the Kato - once weathered & ballasted between double tracks it should look more than acceptable.

 

As long as you are happy with the out come Rule 1 applies.

Thanks for the advice (:

A quickly thrown together photo shoot for a comparison.

 

HO Unitrack (as new) :

OO SMP track (painted and ballasted) :

The Unitrack could be improved by painting the rail sides and toning down the ballast with a wash of dark paint.
