Hello,

I have recently found my ole lionel train 027 at my parents house, unfortunately all the track is missing. This set came with the 3 rail track, My question is I am going to the local train hobby shop to buy new track and I want to use the2 rail track...Is this possible with this train set?

thanks for all repies

To my knowledge, no. Look at the bottom of the train you will proabally see a wheel down there that rides on the middle rail. This needs to be powered with electricity or the train will not run.

Probably better if you ask in the model railroad forums, youll get more help.

Please don't be discouraged from visiting all the forums, there are a wide variety of topics which you might find of itnerest.

As has been noted the Classic Toy Trains forum is a good spot for Lionel questions but don't forget the Model Railroader forum for lots of general information about model trains, structures and other details.

Again, don't limit yourself to a single forum because not everyone goes to all the venues.

Welcome.
