K-line snap track does work best with Lionel 031 which usually has black ties (not 027 which usually has brownish/redish ties). Another way to make converter pieces is to just cut a straight track in half. Use the finished ends for snaptrack and the cut ends to mate with 031 tubular.

I also really like the K-line super snap track. It is as easy to work with as tubular but as easy to assemble as fastrak. I often build my supply by purchasing "close out" sets on-line at JusTrains.

I think the K-Line Snap track is closer to 031 in size than 027 track, and can be used by cutting the tabs off of one end like others have mentioned.
Looks more like Lionel's 031 tubular track and Gargraves ties put together to make the track.

Try Western Depot. They have Super Snap track in stock.

K-line snap track will work with Lionel style Tubular track. You can to get the adaptor peices ( if you cand find them) or cut the ears off of the K line track and buy a few x tra pins to go with the tubular track. Most of my lay out will be in K-line super snap and I will probably use the tubular pins at evry joint just for extra strentgh.
Great to see another Hobby Lobby / K Line customer on here. My layout lives and dies by the clearance isle and those 40% off internet coupons :)
I would check other local hobby shops as I've seen the snap track for sale recently.
RIP Chewy - best dog I ever had.
to the forum !! You may want to look into changing track systems, but Lionel does have those switches listed in their new K-line by Lionel catalog & maybe the track will be coming again !
Thanks, John
I recently bought a K-line train from Hobby Lobby on sale and when I went to try and buy more track for it, I found out that they were bought out by Lionel. I cannot find the .027 snap track for it. Any suggestions. Even Ebay doesn't have any right now.
