LionelLionel Fastrack Electric O Gauge, Inner Passing Loop Add-On Track Pack

Brilliant my son loves the extra track so hes train can go further 👌

Bought this to expand the basic oval track layout included with a Lionel train set. Gives more options for running train with a layout that is more interesting than a boring oval shape alone. Original Lionel parts are quite expensive but I watched this item on Amazon for awhile until I found it priced at a point I was willing to purchase. I only use true Lionel parts and accessories for my several Lionel trains because I’ve found that they perform better than some other non-Lionel brands that are out there. Recommended.

Track included in starter sets is very minimal. These are a good way to expand your layout, even simpler layouts that are not complex but will give your train(s) more distance to travel. Also useful for building sidings where industries and factories can be located, or mainline operations with dual tracks (examples only). Amazon has these cheaper in packs of 4 than buying the pieces individually at some other retailers. Highly recommended. You can never have enough track.

Cost-effective way to add some flexibility to your train track layout expansion, especially when this is on sale. Includes 2 manually operated Fastrack turnouts (switches) and 2 pieces of curved Fastrack. Can be used to make the inner passing loop (as depicted on the box) or as parts for a different, expanding layout (use your imagination). Recommended but expensive when at regular price. I bought it on sale on Amazon.

I have a couple of these. They do what they are designed to do (build a figure eight on your layout, or introduce some interesting multiple train action beyond a boring oval or loop) but they are very expensive for the amount of "material" that you get in this part. An alternative would be to raise some portions of your layout to cross over a track using tressel or some scenery design incline building material such as foam. Recommended.
