UNITRAM Street Track Electric Turnout R180mm Right (40-213) is the specific model train locomotive represented by this listing from KATO.

This item is best cataloged under its full name and KAT40-213. The scale marker O Scale is part of the exact identity and should be matched before purchase. That combination protects against accidental substitutions when related products share a subject, color, scale or series.
The verified description in context
The product page identifies the item this way: “UNITRAM Street Track Electric Turnout R180mm Right is an exact KATO model railroad product. Manufacturer: KATO Scale: N Manufacturer part number: 40-213 Item number: KAT40-213 Official KATO product data and images identify this exact release.” That excerpt anchors the guide, while the gallery, item number and selected variant provide the remaining evidence needed for an exact match.
Practical use and compatibility
Place UNITRAM Street Track Electric Turnout R180mm Right (40-213) 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 KAT40-213 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.
A closer project or collection check
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.
The live page remains the source for current price and availability; the roster remains the source for what the layout already owns.

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 KAT40-213 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.
