H 149mm (5 7/8″) Straight Track, (2 ea) (2-193) is the specific model train track represented by this listing from KATO. This guide interprets the exact record—its title, SKU, photographed item, variant state and catalog context—rather than stretching a generic category article over the product.
Product identity without guesswork
- Exact product: H 149mm (5 7/8″) Straight Track, (2 ea) (2-193)
- Brand or vendor: KATO
- Product type: Model Train Track
- SKU or catalog key: KAT2-193

The recorded price at verification was $10.00 before shipping and tax. At least one variant was orderable when the record was checked.
The complete title is meaningful here, not decorative. For this item, the safest match uses the complete title, vendor, SKU, product type and image together. None of those identifiers should be replaced by a broad category assumption. Keep KAT2-193 with the product record because abbreviated names often omit the detail that distinguishes one version from another.
Reading the source record carefully
Current catalog evidence can be summarized as follows: “H 149mm (5 7/8″) Straight Track, (2 ea) is an exact KATO model railroad product. Manufacturer: KATO Manufacturer part number: 2-193 Heartland item number: KAT2-193 Official KATO product data and images identify this exact release.” Every additional recommendation in this guide is framed as a check or planning step when the listing itself does not confirm the answer.
What matters for this kind of product
Place H 149mm (5 7/8″) Straight Track, (2 ea) (2-193) in the layout plan by answering four questions: what scale is stated, what railroad or equipment identity is shown, what physical or electrical interface is required, and what clearance or radius does the layout provide? The catalog key KAT2-193 keeps those answers attached to the correct release.
For rolling stock, inspect road number, body style, trucks, wheels and couplers. For electronics, identify connector, current capacity, speaker or lighting needs. For structures and scenery, verify footprint, power and clearance.
Second-pass inspection
Layout planning should include the item’s storage and handling path as well as operation. Long cars, tall structures and fragile details can fit the nominal scale but still conflict with curves, tunnels, platforms or storage trays.
Photograph the model from both sides and the underside when it enters the roster. Those images preserve reporting marks and hardware details for future comparison.
The photographed item is part of the specification
3 product images were available to the catalog at verification. Use them as item-level evidence: zoom in on the SKU, graphics, edges, connectors, part arrangement or package callouts relevant to this model train track. Do not substitute a generic manufacturer image when the exact listing supplies a more specific view.
A disciplined final review
- Match the full title and KAT2-193.
- Confirm the selected variant and displayed quantity.
- Review the exact image set for the distinguishing details named above.
- Resolve every missing fit, scale, material or compatibility point from current instructions.
- Check live price and availability immediately before ordering.

The collection record worth keeping
Catalog the item under the complete title and KAT2-193, then add the date received and the condition actually observed. For a project item, note where it was installed or how it was used. For a collectible, note package and display condition separately.
Retaining the exact identifiers protects the record when product titles or availability later change.
Gift considerations
Gift buyers should match KAT2-193 to a known collection, project or preference. If size, scale, interface or exact version is uncertain, preserve the receipt and avoid opening fit-sensitive packaging.

Verification worksheet for this listing
Use KAT2-193 as the checkpoint for H 149mm (5 7/8″) Straight Track, (2 ea) (2-193). Confirm the vendor name KATO, the product type Model Train Track, the selected variant and the photographed item before checkout. If a required size, scale, material, interface or included component is absent from the live record, write it down as unresolved and obtain the answer from the current instructions or manufacturer source.
After delivery, add a dated photograph and a brief result note. A builder can record fit, materials and finishing choices; a collector can record package and item condition; a user can record compatibility and care. Those details make the record genuinely product-specific while preventing a later observation from being confused with a factory specification.
