You should get regular tubular track. I agree that fastrack is really expensive. Just wait until you go to buy a switch. In my opinion, you should switch to either O or O27. I use O27/Super O myself and Ive never had that much of a problem with it.
i have a steam engion like that and the gear sliped out of place. i fixed it and then it started shootin spark out of the driving rods. im not kidding it was. any advise on whats wrong with it from anyone would be nice.
lovin the trains i got some lionel stuff i got a new york central flyer from a long time ago some additional cars for it and i bought a diesel also i have some prewar stuff also
My layout is 8x6 feet and I think the fastrack is great too, but sometimes I wish I had used the plain three rail because it is a lot cheaper, I have to save my money a long time to buy fastrack.
My layout is 4' by 8'. I haven't put any videos of it on youtube though... I have a 2008 Railking 4-8-4 Daylight. Oh and no offense but Realtrax is basically the same thing except it doesn't rust and is a little cheaper.
Thanks for watching. This video is a year old and since then I have added to it and gotten it off the floor, it takes up my mom's whole garage and she says no bigger.
lol im 11 and you have more cars then me I got my set when i was 6 years old and i just set it up a week ago i will be uploading a video of it in a day or two nice set!!!
i started at just 3 weeks old (well my dad bought me one then) and i still do it today. Model trains is a hobby that has been going for along time and will for a long time keep going. nice locomotive BTW.

When we first got it I was surprised how many cars it could pull but now it only pulls a few.
mrnewshoes 4 years ago

trains457 4 years ago
After my Uncle cleaned the rollers it had it's power back, I usually have 8 or 9 cars but it could pull more.
