  1. O Scale
    Hello again, I've been running my postwar Lionel, and I've noticed that about half the time my locomotives travel over the straight section of an O-48 switch, the switch and the train give off a nice big spark, and the CW-80 interrupts power. This does not happen with any of my modern...
  2. S Scale
    I’m currently building a layout for the first time using the original American Flyer track and rolling stock that belonged to my dad when he was young. In addition to the track that created my dad's original oval, I recently purchased some AF Fastrack that provides R27 turns for some...
  3. O Scale
    I have the track down for my expanded layout (32' x 24' with 15 remote switches) and have been running trains! But I've noticed a few little "glitches" with FasTrack. Everybody else may already know this, but I thought I'd document it here. It would seem that on about 5% of the straights or...

    Those of you that know me, know I am shameless in asking questions to gain information. So here we go with my March 2020 dumb questions of the month. I had to disassemble my layout. My wife decided to get a divorce and move on. She does not want to reside in this old house we own. It...

    Hello All, Up for sale I have a lot of Lionel O Gauge Fastrack. I bought a working layout and disassembled it as I am an Atlas O kinda guy. I did run trains on it before taking it down, and the track runs well. I have wiped it all down, but a few pieces could use some scotch-brite. There is one...

    I need to buy about 250 pieces of Lionel Fastrack including 15 Command Control switches. Can anyone recommend a good source for a bulk Fastrack purchase at a reasonable price? The best switch prices I have found so far are on Amazon... is this a good source? Thanks in advance for your help!
  7. O Scale
    Howdy, I purchased two of these switches for my new layout and it's my first experience with them. Both were described as new in box but look to be older stock as the date on the packaging says 2004. My left hand switch works perfectly. No issues. The right hand switch is having some odd...
  8. O Scale
    Is it common for the center-rail pins to break on Lionel FasTrack? I ordered a Road-Crossing section, and one of those pins came broken (it fell from the box when I opened it). I also purchased an Accessory Activator Pack, and the first time I tried to take the two isolated sections apart, one...

    My 2004 O Gauge nickel plate road locomotive doesn't want to run with my post war ZW 275 transformer. I bought the ZW on eBay and it seems to have worked fine at first. Then I turned the power off and later tried it again, but I only got the real sound and lights to work. I checked my power and...
  13. O Scale
    I will start out by saying I am new to this hobby and I have been doing a lot research before I ask anything but this is a question I have not found a clear answer for. I just recently got the Lionel Coca-Cola 125th Aniversary train. It is an O guage ready-to-run set. It came with the generic...
