Did you listen in math class? If the answer is yes, good! Because a little basic geometry comes in handy when working with FasTrack. (If the answer was 'no', read this article twice and then take the 100-question test at the end of the article--just kidding.) FasTrack is a rigid track system, and the track sections cannot be cut. Therefore, Lionel ...
Since nearly all layouts require the train to make a circle in order to form a continuous loop, it's important to look at the curved track sections first. There are five diameters of curvature in FasTrack. There a 3 foot diameter circle (O36), 4 foot (O48), 5 foot (O60), 6 foot (O72), and 7 foot (O84). O36 is included with most starter sets. Note t...
Straights are pretty easy. The standard straight section is 10 inches long (#12014), and a half section is available as well (#12024). Most special track sections like block sections and accessory activation sections are also either 10 or 5 inches long, making it easy to substitute a regular straight section with one of these special track pieces. ...
The traditional footprint of a switch track matches a straight and a curved section laid atop one another. This makes it easy to integrate them into layouts. The O36 switch matches the footprint of one 10 inch straight and one O36 curve, and the wider diameter switches are usually the footprint of one of the matching curves, along with a 10" anda 5...
The three crossings made in FasTrack are 90 degree (#12019), 45 degree (#12051), and 22.5 degree (#12050). Note that the angles are multiples of one another (22.5 x2 = 45, and 45 x 2 = 90), and that they match the angles of most of the curves as well. ====================================================================
There are several special track sections made for FasTrack which perform specific tasks. Grade Crossing Section Highway Signal Set Crossing Gate Set Lastly, three crossing sections are also available from Lionel. The grade crossing section (#12036) is 10" long and has a simulated road and crossing built into it. They are sold in pairs. The flashing...
Example #1
Click the Diagram to see a larger picture This little layout, which we call the Double Loop RR, shows how to fit a crossing into a layout. Take a look at the two parts of the layout outlined in red. Note that the top leg of the loop, the one running horizontally across the top, includes 30" of straight track (the two 10" straights plus the straight leg of the switch, which is also 10 inches). Along the parallel leg in the middle of the layout, we also have a 30" straight run, but this one con...
Example #2
Click the Diagram to see a larger picture This second layout, designed to go around a Christmas tree, illustrates the need for half curves to make a plan fit. At first glance the plan appears to be a figure-8, but it is in fact two reverse loops folded over each other. The top half of the circle is made of six O48 curves. The two switches are O36, one right and one left. The two crossings are 45 degrees. Note that because we are using 45 degree crossings in this plan, we needed to connect hal...
Example #3
Click the Diagram to see a larger picture This layout is an example of how to connect two different diameters of curves into one layout. It is a folded-over figure 8, and the inner loop is O48, and the outer loop is O60. Note the use of several fitter pieces on the O48 loop (outlined in red) to achieve the desired distance between the back straightaways of both loops. Also notice that a pair of O36 1/2 curves (also outlined in red) were used around the 45 degree crossing at the bottom. They w...
