The Kato EP718-15L Left Electric Turnout is a marvel of model railroad technology, exemplifying the innovation and quality craftsmanship that Kato is known for. This unit is particularly designed to enhance any model railway setup with its precise engineering, featuring a left-hand turnout with a 28-1/4′ (718mm) radius and a 15-degree track angle. Crafted with nickel silver rails for unmatched conductivity and durability, it also includes a realistic roadbed and Kato’s unique Unijoiners, ensuring a secure and seamless track connection. Its ease of use, facilitated by factory wiring for plug-and-play operation, positions it as a standout choice for hobbyists looking to elevate their railway experience.
This unit arrives in pristine condition, underscoring its previous owner’s commitment to quality and precision. Originally part of a sophisticated setup where it was directly soldered to a custom control panel, its versatility was enhanced for more refined layout control. Recognizing the importance of maintaining both its customized appeal and original functionality, we have carefully restored the original Kato connectors. This ensures that the turnout remains flexible for various configurations while preserving its unique customization. It stands as a testament to the blend of innovation and tradition, making it an excellent addition for collectors who value both the history and performance of their model railway components.
