N CT Double Track Widening Section Right 310mm (12 1/5″) (20-052) exact product view 1

This page is devoted to N CT Double Track Widening Section Right 310mm (12 1/5″) (20-052), 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.

Matching the exact listing

  • Exact product: N CT Double Track Widening Section Right 310mm (12 1/5″) (20-052)
  • Brand or vendor: KATO
  • Product type: Model Train Track
  • SKU or catalog key: KAT20-052
  • Variants reviewed: 1
  • Product images indexed: 3

The recorded price at verification was $18.00 before shipping and tax. At least one variant was orderable when the record was checked.

The working catalog key is KAT20-052. 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.

Confirmed facts versus assumptions

The live record provides the following product-specific information: “N CT Double Track Widening Section Right 310mm (12 1/5″) is an exact KATO model railroad product. Manufacturer: KATO Scale: N Manufacturer part number: 20-052 Item number: KAT20-052 Official KATO product data and images identify this exact release.” The wording is treated as a source excerpt, not as a substitute for independent fit, scale or condition checks.

Practical use and compatibility

The title of N CT Double Track Widening Section Right 310mm (12 1/5″) (20-052) may contain scale, road number, body type or decoder family, but no single phrase settles compatibility. Use KAT20-052 with the images and current documentation. A visually similar car can carry a different road number; a similarly named decoder can use a different interface.

Test new rolling stock or electronics on a controlled section before regular service. That isolates clearance, pickup, coupler-height and programming issues without disrupting the full layout.

A closer project or collection check

Use a consistent roster format: manufacturer, item number, road name, road number, scale, coupler standard, wheel notes and acquisition date. A complete roster is more useful than a title-only wish list when the same prototype appears in several releases.

If the exact item is intended for display rather than operation, the same identity fields still matter even when radius or control compatibility does not.

Why the exact photo set matters

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.

Checks to complete before ordering

  • Use the complete name, not a shortened marketplace label.
  • Use KAT20-052 to prevent a near-match substitution.
  • Read the variant and inventory state shown now.
  • Confirm technical requirements from the current manufacturer source.
  • Keep the receipt and one reference image with the product record.

The collection record worth keeping

Catalog the item under the complete title and KAT20-052, 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

As a gift, N CT Double Track Widening Section Right 310mm (12 1/5″) (20-052) is strongest when the recipient already uses this scale, format, subject or product family. Check for duplicates and fit-sensitive details before choosing it solely from the brand name.

Final identity questions

Why does N CT Double Track Widening Section Right 310mm (12 1/5″) (20-052) have its own guide?

Because this product has a specific identity, image set and live offer that should not be merged into a roundup or broad brand article.

Is a contextual image a contents list?

No. Only stated components and the selected variant define what is included.

How can a later owner verify the item?

They can compare the title, item number KAT20-052, package or item photographs and saved transaction record.

Decision summary: choose N CT Double Track Widening Section Right 310mm (12 1/5″) (20-052) when the complete identity, photographed details and intended use all match. The live page should settle current price and availability; this guide preserves the evidence needed to recognize the exact item.
