Lionel Ready-to-Play Curved Train Track Pack – 12-Piece Black Plastic 2-Rail Expansion Track for Battery-Powered Ready-to-Play Train Sets, 1:24 Scale

These did the trick they matched perfectly with a set we already had, this allowed us to expand our train to get all around the tree.

These pieces fit perfectly with our frozen train set. Haven’t broken any of these when the originals dropped like flies.

This 2-switch pack adds flexibility to your layout. You can make a reversing loop, or a siding with re-connection, or a shortcut inside loop, or 2 sidings.The manual switch is intuitive to use and clicks into place with a decent firmness. My 3yo granddaughter has little trouble using this switch, needing just a couple tries to get it all the way into place.As with all switches, your smoothest running is going "with the points": that is, passing over the non-moving end of the switch rails first, then passing over the moving end (the points) of the switch rails second. With any railroad switch the proof is in the points: that is, how well does the train stay on track when riding into the points? In 10 minutes' running, we had no derailments, entering the switch on the straight or on the curve. That is remarkable for such an inexpensive, easy-to-use switch.These switches are not auto-switching: if you enter the switch from the direction it's not set to, the switch will not automatically reposition its points to enable a smooth passage. These switches are also too firmly sprung to enable passive auto-switching: if you enter the switch from the direction it's not set to, the train will not push the points out of the way, and will tend to derail the train. Switches that do well at this are common in more expensive scales (Lionel Fastrack has auto-switching, for example), but those switches and their track systems are also 5x to 20x more expensive than Lionel Ready To Play.

Grandson’s original track had broken pieces. Thus was a perfect replacement

I needed more track for my lionel train so I purchased this style of curved track. Snaps together pretty easily. My only complaint is one of the pieces had a defect and wouldn't snap to anything. I heard this type of track is being discontinued, so if you need this type of track you better get it before it's gone.

Fits well

The media could not be loaded. Ater purchasing several Lionel's Ready to play train sets, I suddenly became interested in expanding my Ready to Play trains outdoors. I was able to find additional Ready to Play straight track on Amazon. After purchasing 14 boxes of straight track, I was able to come up with this double track railroad. The entire Railroad is approximately 116 feet long. The Ready to Play track is secured to the deck with screws. I was able to purchase 14 boxes of Ready to Play track for less than $150.00. That is extremely less than my Brass track which I use indoors for another operating train. The Lionel's Ready to Play track isn't compatible to other G scale track systems currently on the market today. The Ready to Play track isn't as strong as Brass track and this because it is engineered differently, but it is strong enough to support my weight if I stand on it. I weigh190 lbs. There are ways to make it stronger if needed be.

Fits the polar express train so the annoying Tom Hanks voice will never end! Yay
