90-Degree FasTrack Crossover Section for O Gauge Model Trains

Great addition to our track layout!

Note that you will need to add at least a five inch track and a ten inch track to each side of this to make it work. You can buy these also on Amazon. Without these, the curves won't come together at the crossover. You can also just buy the Figure 8 track pack. I copied my review of that below: We started with a basic set that had an oval. At some point, the oval got boring so we added the figure 8. I don't know why, but it is fun to watch a train go around on a figure 8. The Fastrack criss cross track works well and trains do not derail when going across it. Around the same time that we bought the figure 8 track, we moved from having our set on the living room floor to putting it on a 4' x 8' plywood table in the basement. From there, we started adding switches to create an oval around the figure 8. To me, within the constraints of a 4 x 8 layout, a figure 8 embedded in an oval is about as good as it gets in terms of having an interesting layout. My recommendation is to start with the figure 8 and then, as your finances allow, buy some switches and track to connect the sides of the figure 8 into an oval. There are two challenges with this. First, switches cost around $40 each. Second, the gap to close the side of the track by the switches is an odd length of 30.91 inches. What worked for me was to close each side of the loop with (2) 10 inch tracks + (1) 5 inch track + (3) 1.375 inch tracks + (1) 1.75 inch track. This leaves a gap of about 1/32" but there is enough flex in the track to make this work.

Connectivity was very simple Everything works great

Perfect addition to my layout. Also purchased the 90 degree as well. I like the sound the train and cars make when they travel over the diamond.

We needed this piece to make a figure 8 track for my son's train set that he got for Christmas. It arrived quickly and was packaged well. I find the fast track to be much noisier than the old tube style we used to have, and I hate how everything is plastic nowadays but the price doesn't reflect that. It works fine but I just feel that Lionel charges way too much for their products given the quality.

These little pieces are expensive, but they are just the ticket for completing a track under your Christmas tree that deviates from the "standard oval." I'm not a train guru--just a mom that wants to help her kid have fun. I added a small curved piece (O36), a 4.5" straight and a 1-3/8" straight piece to our set (just the standard pieces that come with the Lionel trains) and had an amazing, wandering figure eight looping under the coffee table, behind the couch and back again. Advice: build as much as you can with the "normal" pieces first and save these special guys for the very last-I-can't-possibly-make-this-work-without-it moment.

it fits my track and allows me to use train set

Great addition for a model railroad layout ... at an exceptional price, too.Great addition for a model railroad layout ... at an exceptional price, too.Great addition for a model railroad layout ... at an exceptional price, too.Great addition for a model railroad layout ... at an exceptional price, too.Great addition for a model railroad layout ... at an exceptional price, too.Great addition for a model railroad layout ... at an exceptional price, too.

Es ist sehr schön, dass Amazon endlich auch die Lionel-Gleise in Deutschland verkauft und man diese ohne Probleme bekommt. Bitte bitte mehr von Lionel!!! Qualität ist gut und alles funktioniert wie es soll.
