[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Modelcar Sask_Tinplater....I had 027 track from Lionel train set and the same from MarX...and I seem to remember O27 would not connect with O gauge...? Time frame for this equipment was late 30's and 40-41.....I remember the O27 had sharper radius curve track than O gauge. I believe the O27 trains would run on the O gauge if I remember correctly. [/quote] That's right. The O gauge track is larger and intended for bigger trains and locomotives, like some of the larger Lionel steamers and diesels. Today most of the O gauge manufacturers are making very large trains that are more scale sized and use the O gauge track. All the trains Marx made were O27. O27 track was first produced by Lionel in the early 30's and was soon adopted by other manufacturers. Generally O27 trains are cheaper than O gauge.
