The DR V type 07-32 Plasser & Theurer track tamper model is a motorized version. A tamping machine (ballast tamper) is a machine used to pack the track ballast under the railway track to make the tracks more durable. Before Tamping Machines were introduced ballast tamping was done by manual labour. Tamping machines are more accurate than being done manually they are faster & more efficient meaning less labour intensive. Concrete sleepers are too heavy to be packed into the ballast by hand & tamping machines are essential. The early tamping machines only lifted the track & packed the ballast, where as more modern machines also correct the alignment of the rails making them level & parallel which means a more comfortable train ride for passengers & freight. Plasser & Theurer, an Austrian manufacturer of railway track maintenance & track laying machines also produces machines for the installation of overhead wires & railway bridge inspection & repair vehicles. In 1971 Plasser & Theurer put the rail stamper machine BR 07 on the market it was an up-to-date machine concept covering all needs. This track tamping machine was used in a number of countries with national railways like the DB & also with private railway companies.

As well as manufacturing n scale locomotives, Kato also have a unique modular track system, Unitrack, this takes very little time to put together whether permanent or temporary, always the same result, an almost instant sturdy operational model railway enabling you more time for modelling n scale scenery and buildings. Having the Unitrack ballasted, with an integral roadbed, allows for the possibility to create scenic boards, as any of your chosen model railway displays will always be the same shape each time created, giving flexibility and choice along with easier storage if your creation has to be put away. Because the Kato system is already ballasted it has great stability along with superior connectivity thanks to their Unijoiner concept. Simple plug and play for all N scale modelers young or old. The Kato model railway system is immense, with every conceivable railway layout catered for and is compatible with all other N gauge Usa, European and Japanese N scale locomotives and train rolling stock such as Fleischmann, Minitrix, Peco, Graham Farish and Dapol.
