Lionel has decided to update their O-gauge track offering by bringout out a new track system, FasTrack. Having gotten nearly 100 years out of the previous tubular track, they have decided to bring out a new system, not altogther different from competing products ( see MTH RealTrax), for the next century.
Recognizing the trend from all train manufactures towards larger, scale-dimensioned locomotives, the smallest curve is O36, as was used by Lionel Super O track from the 1950's. Further noting the increased interest in realism and ease of use in the 3-rail O-gauge market, FasTrack has an integrated roadbed, a larger number of scale-sized ties, and a darkened center rail. Currently Lionel offers four curve radii; as more components are added to the FasTrack system, we will update the RR-Track FasTrack library. If you are having trouble figuring out which combinations of FasTrack straight sections are needed to fill a gap, check out our Lionel FasTrack track table.
Items in red are newly added.
The current v4 library release is 4.50.014. If yours is older, please go to our updates page to download the latest version.
