Shop K-Line O Gauge Track & Turnouts

Find SuperSnap, Shadow Rail, track pieces, and switches

Find K-Line track for sale to extend an existing O Gauge railroad, replace missing sections, or finish a track plan. K-Line made several 3-rail track styles, so compare the track system, curve diameter, connectors, and item number before ordering.

K-Line SuperSnap Track

A Short History of K-Line Track

Super K, Shadow Rail, and SuperSnap track systems

K-Line offered a broad range of O Gauge 3-rail track, including conventional tubular track and the Super K family. Its Shadow Rail styling reduced the visual prominence of the center rail, while the SuperSnap line offered snap-together connections and a selection of straight, curved, and specialty track pieces.

K-Line also offered turnouts and accessories for these track systems. The original K-Line business ceased operations in the mid-2000s, making many of its track products items shoppers now seek through older stock and the secondary market. When matching an existing railroad, the precise K-Line product number is often more useful than the brand name alone.

K-Line Super K vs. Lionel Super O

K-Line Super K is associated with K-Line’s O Gauge tubular track, while Lionel Super O was a separate postwar 3-rail track system with a distinctive thin center rail and different connectors. K-Line SuperSnap refers to a snap-together track system, and Shadow Rail describes a darker center-rail appearance used on certain K-Line track pieces. These names describe different products or features, not interchangeable track systems. Check the exact track type and connectors before joining pieces from different systems.

After the original K-Line business closed, the brand was licensed to Lionel, which marketed selected products as K-Line by Lionel, including SuperSnap turnouts. K-Line-branded track is not part of Lionel’s current regular track lineup. For another O Gauge 3-rail track option, browse Lionel Track, including FasTrack. Track systems are not necessarily directly interchangeable, so check connections before combining them.
