KATO 24-606 4-branch port

The N Gauge 24-606 4-branch port is one of the accessories for model N gauge. This port is used to branch railway tracks (rails).

The four-branch port has four rails attached to it, usually arranged in an intersecting fashion. This allows the vehicle to travel in four different directions from one track.

This port is used to diversify model truck arrangements and train operation patterns. For example, it is often used in model trains with complex layouts, such as where the tracks are curved, or at station junctions.

Four-branch ports are typically used in conjunction with rails or point machines, sold separately. Point machines are used to perform track switching operations and can work in conjunction with 4-branch ports to propel the vehicle in different directions.

For model train enthusiasts and collectors, the N gauge 4-1 4-branch port is an important item for layout flexibility. You can create a variety of routes and operating patterns, and you can recreate more realistic train operations.
