Lionel Track - O Gauge

Lionel has produced several O Gauge track systems over the years, each designed for different layouts and generations of trains. Whether you're restoring a Postwar railroad with tubular track, building a modern layout with Lionel FasTrack, or replacing individual track sections, Trainz offers a changing inventory of pre-owned and hard-to-find Lionel O Gauge track.

Inventory may include straight and curved track, switches, uncoupling sections, crossings, terminal track, bumpers, and other replacement components for vintage and modern Lionel layouts.

Introduced in the early 2000s, Lionel FasTrack combines nickel-silver rails with an integrated molded roadbed for quick assembly and dependable electrical connections. Its snap-together design makes it popular for beginners, temporary floor layouts, and permanent railroads alike while offering a wide selection of curves, straights, switches, crossings, and specialty sections.

If you're planning a FasTrack layout or comparing it with tubular track, visit our Guide to Lionel FasTrack to learn more about compatible components and layout options.

Traditional Lionel tubular track remains a favorite among collectors operating Prewar, Postwar, and MPC-era trains. Available in both O Gauge and O27 configurations, tubular track has been the foundation of Lionel layouts for generations and continues to be widely used for vintage railroads.

Collectors frequently search for O31, O42, O54, and O72 curves, matching straight sections, remote switches, manual switches, uncoupling track, and replacement connector pins to expand or restore classic layouts.

Beyond traditional train track, Lionel also introduced SuperStreets, a roadway system designed for operating vehicles alongside O Gauge trains. Specialty track products, crossings, operating sections, and accessory connections allow hobbyists to build more interactive and realistic layouts while expanding beyond a simple oval.

Before purchasing Lionel O Gauge track, verify the track system, curve diameter, and compatibility with your trains and existing layout. Many collectors also purchase complete track lots, replacement switches, terminal sections, and accessories to restore older railroads or expand existing layouts.

• Identify whether your layout uses FasTrack, O tubular, or O27 tubular track.
• Match curve diameters such as O31, O42, O54, or O72.
• Inspect rails, ties, and connector pins for wear.
• Choose compatible switches, crossings, and terminal sections.
• Track lots can provide matching pieces for larger layouts.
