This page is devoted to H123mm (4 7/8″) UncouplingTrack [2 pcs] (2-143), the exact model train track sold under the KATO record. The goal is practical identification: what the listing confirms, what remains unverified, and what a buyer or builder should compare before using the item.

The record that separates this item

The recorded price at verification was $21.50 before shipping and tax. At least one variant was orderable when the record was checked.

The quantity wording 2 pcs should be reconciled with the package photo and option selected. The working catalog key is KAT2-143. That key should travel with the saved URL and product image so a later comparison does not collapse this item into another model train track listing.

What the current listing actually confirms

The source description says: “H123mm (4 7/8″) UncouplingTrack [2 pcs] is an exact KATO model railroad product. Manufacturer: KATO Manufacturer part number: 2-143 Heartland item number: KAT2-143 Official KATO product data and images identify this exact release.” This is useful evidence, but it is not expanded beyond what the listing supports. Missing dimensions, materials, compatibility claims or package contents remain open questions.

How to evaluate this product type

For H123mm (4 7/8″) UncouplingTrack [2 pcs] (2-143), separate collection identity from operating suitability. Collection identity is established by manufacturer, item number, road name, number and appearance. Operating suitability depends on scale, track, radius, coupler, wheel and control standards. SKU KAT2-143 links both questions to one product.

When a required dimension or electrical rating is missing, treat it as unconfirmed and consult the current manufacturer instructions.

Using the item with confidence

For electronics, do not connect the item until the locomotive or accessory wiring is documented. For rolling stock, check free rolling, wheel gauge and coupler height. For structures, make a paper footprint before cutting scenery. Each approach tests the highest-risk compatibility point first.

Preserving the identity trail

The permanent record should answer three questions: what exact item was bought, what arrived, and how it was used or stored. The title and KAT2-143 answer the first; arrival photographs answer the second; project or collection notes answer the third.

Keeping those layers separate improves future comparisons and avoids unsupported grading.

Gift considerations

The exact title makes this a specific rather than universal gift. Confirm that the recipient wants this release, quantity and format; a closely related item may not be interchangeable.

What buyers commonly need to confirm

What identifies this exact product?

The complete title, KAT2-143, vendor KATO, product type Model Train Track and photographed item form the identity. None should be replaced by a generic category label.

What is still unconfirmed?

Any dimension, material, accessory, compatibility claim or package component absent from the listing remains unconfirmed until the current instructions or manufacturer record supplies it.

Product-specific verification note

The evidence trail for H123mm (4 7/8″) UncouplingTrack [2 pcs] (2-143) should remain attached to SKU KAT2-143.

Why the complete record should be retained

The most reliable ownership note separates three stages: what the seller stated, what arrived, and what happened when the item was used or displayed. That structure supports later troubleshooting and replacement without adding unsupported claims to the original listing. It also makes the article auditable because every conclusion remains tied to the exact product instead of the surrounding category.
