Brian, the Kato #4 switches are no problem anymore, as I gave them away. The Kato #6 switches cost less than the #4, and run much better.
I like Atlas and Atlas Trainman for locos and cars, but their track has to be roadbedded and ballasted, which you don’t have to do with the N Kato Unitrack. Unitrack doesn’t look as realistic and is somewhat limited, but having the roadbed and ballast already on the track to me is worth the trade-off when it has to be taken up. Atlas and Bachmann roadbed track is a pale comparison to Unitrack.
