Will the Lionel FasTrack O36 Curve Track work with an O-27 train set?

Yes, a FasTrack O36 Curve will work fine with a O27 Train. FasTrack is however only compatible with other FasTrack unless you buy an adapter. You will find the O36 to be a gentler curve then a O27 curve. But remember if your using the old tubular (vintage) track you will need an adapter to transition to the newer FasTrack.

No, I have an O-27 and accidentally ordered the O36 FasTrack. They are not compatible.

They sell a track adapter here on amazon.com: "Life-Like Trains Power-Link HO Scale Track - Adapter, Steel." So you can connect your Bachmann EZ tracks to this set.

It is HO gauge and it does fit all Bachmann sets manufactured as EZ track. I have a lot of Bachmann track from thirty years ago and it does not have the built-in base. This track does not work well with older track that requires a separate roadbed. It also does not work with the old grade crossing unless one cuts off the snap-fit tongue...and then only marginally.

I use only Lionel FasTrack. You can hook it up with wire or add banana connectors to the end of your wire from the track. Tom

Yes, as long as the metal runners on the bottom match up with the rails in the track

I use this power pack to run an On30 scale train on HO scale track. I am not sure if it will work for O scale track.

Hello. Yes. This car will work with the O gauge set. Basically, the "O" refers to the size, or scale of the locomotive, cars, track, and accessories of a given train set. The term "gauge" refers to the distance between track rails. O gauge track measures 1.25 inches from outer rail to outer rail. Anything that is O gauge should run fine on O track. In the O gauge model railroad world, the size of curves is designated in terms of diameter (radius in HO scale). Historically, Lionel produced O gauge train sets that could operate in small spaces... very tight curves. O-27 indicates that the item, be it a locomotive or some piece of rolling stock, can handle curves as tight as 27 inches in diameter. Some locomotives and some rolling stock cannot handle such tight curves. I no longer have my polar express set, but if I remember correctly, the curves that come with the set are O-36. That just means that, when assembled, the curved sections will have a 36 inch diameter/18 inch radius. Hope that is helpful.

I use two rail track - all American Flyer - so I don't know for sure. I would contact the company.

Not to my knowledge. Anything is possible if the dynamics are correct Bought this train set for my 3 yr. old grandson and will upgrade to a better one as he becomes older. We are happy with the type of tracks that came with the set.

No, you need to buy a Fas Track figure eight set. This set allows for a more sweeping curve so the train is more stable on the track.

Yes-only if you purchase curved track along with a few straight pieces of track/

Yes it will but not perfect. Some of the track cuts do not line perfectly and will cause the train to run off the tracks,

Hi George! Do not know of any LIONEL trains that run on two rail tracks. I switched over to FASTRACK a few years back and they are wonderful, especially if you're running your trains on carpeting. Unlike the older three rail track designs, the FASTRACKS stay locked together. Although more expensive than traditional tracks, they more than make up for the higher price in pleasure and ease of use. Hope this helps.Robert

NO!!!!! it does not It does not work with the dark tracks that lock differently. make sure you have the right set

I have used this track dolly on many types of track. Any tube, pipe, cylindrical object from 1" to 1.5" (maybe larger) will work. Angle iron or aluminium angle at about 1.25" or larger should work. I have used 3/4" hydraulic hose (about 1.125" outer diameter) for a track with a curve. Heck I have used broom sticks. I am tinkering with a system that uses 40" sections of heavy-walled PVC pipe that will snap together to build a straight track as long as you have sections. Hope the helps, Claude

Yes, O gauge. Does not work directly with conventional tubular O gauge track without a transition section though.

This train comes with 18 degree curved track, therefore the radius is 18" and the diameter is 36 inches overall on the circle.. A curved track with a radius of 21 inches would have a circular diameter of 42 inches overall, and would be a much more gentle curve than the 18".. A train can run faster on a 21 degree curve than the 18 degree curved track that comes with this train. You can also run longer locomotives and cars on a more gently 21 degree curved track. So, if you are saying that you have a 21 degree curve, which means you have 21 degree curved track, then the answer is "Yes" it will run just fine. I run the longer locomotives and passenger cars on 18 degree track, and seldom have a problem with HO.. Where you can get into trouble is with 15 degree curved track.. It's tight.
