[lionelsuperotrack]

Lionel FasTrack has turned into the toy train operators track for the 21st century. It lends itself to temporary as well as permanent layouts. It's operating characteristics make it user friendly and it is offered in many new Lionel train sets and offered at most hobby shops. Hence, it is readily available.

Come along and share your experiences with this NEW track system. Our group is interested in your experiences, ideas, thoughts along with layout photo's and diagrams and other information that you would like to share. What have been your experiences with FasTrack? Are there areas for improvement? What are it's best characteristics? Could this be the NEW alternative for tubular track?

Politics aside, I think the fasttrack has good points as well as some bad ones.  Good ones are easy to use, put together, neat looking with balast, easy to solder to the bottom side for added power outlets.  Bad points TOO LOUD when having more then 10 cars going need to put a baffle on it.  Just my 2 cents.  I do have it in 0-72 and 048 on two loops of my layout.

the same thread showed up on all three O-Gauge forums last nite around the same time.

I don't see the advantage of having a separate forum dedicated to FasTrack.  It makes much more sense to have FasTrack threads posted on the main O-Gauge forums for a much larger audience to view and respond to.  The Yahoo forums are not as easy to view as the main O-Gauge forums.

Don't think its rude, or any more rude than folks listing all kinds of services they provide, or listing other web sites, etc.  I joined the fastrack group as that is what I am using and hope to glean some more knowledge from reading posts there.  I venture to say that a lot of people who protest these postings probably would protest the numerous topics that would have to be posted here to address the many lesser subjects associated with a particular product list.  I am sure we would have such complaints as"there are more track systems out here besides Fastrack", etc.  It takes but a second to bypass the reading of such posts.

I don't fault anyone for posting what they think is pertinant to our hobby.  If I am not interested, I just pass over it.  I would object to people directing attacks at others or using vile language.  Beyond that, it is a forum of a hobby that is meant to be fun, so let's just enjoy it for what it is.

Well, everyone is welcome to their opinion. For the record I have posted quite a few times about Marx Trains, Super O Track, the TCA and more. But, you are certainly welcome to your opinion.

Very best, Mike

I like tubular better. It looks better to me, it is cheaper so I can buy more on the dollar, and it is old school and I love old school.

But he does sell a lot of track on Ebay.  http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=lionelsuperotrack  and seems to get good feedback on his transactions. 

And for you guys always looking for Super O, I guess you found someone that can help you out with your search.
