    Hi! I'm new to model railroads and designing my first layout.
    I live in a country where model railroads are not very popular and even less if we are talking about N gauge.
    So the best way to procure track is by ordering online.
    I am going to go exclusively with Kato Unitrack because I already have some pieces and I do not want to get into any unexpected compatibility issues.
    I designed my layout using SCARM and I got my part list but since most track pieces are bought in sets, I am trying to figure out what each set contains exactly. e.g. S248 come in sets of 4 in 20-000.
    The ones that I'm still in doubt are the 481 turnouts (as the subject mentions: 20-220 and 20-221).
    I've been googling for hours and I think I've got it:

    Kato 20-220 contents:
    1 x Turnout (EP481-15L)
    1 x S60L (60mm straigth with chamfered roadbed)
    1 x S60R (idem, but mirrored)
    2 x S64 (64mm straight)
    1 x R481-15 (curve)

    Kato 20-221 contents:
    All the same except the turnout is to the right (EP481-15R)

    Can anyone please confirm it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Some time ago I wondered about the same thing and you are correct. I copied this from the back of my 20-220 package:

    Great! I didn't know about the special joiners and the connection wire. Good to know.
    Thanks!
