About Kato

Kato Precision Railroad Models was founded in 1957 in Tokyo, Japan. The company has built an unparalleled reputation for precision manufacturing and exceptional running quality. Kato pioneered the concept of integrated roadbed track with their Unitrack system, which revolutionized layout building by eliminating the need for separate roadbed and offering reliable electrical connections. Their locomotives are celebrated worldwide for buttery-smooth mechanisms, quiet operation, and excellent slow-speed performance. Kato serves both the Japanese and North American markets with prototypically accurate models, and their products consistently set the standard for N scale quality.
