LionelFasTrack Electric O Gauge, 45 Degree Crossover Train

Note that you will need to add at least a five inch track and a ten inch track to each side of this to make it work. You can buy these also on Amazon. Without these, the curves won't come together at the crossover. You can also just buy the Figure 8 track pack. I copied my review of that below:We started with a basic set that had an oval. At some point, the oval got boring so we added the figure 8. I don't know why, but it is fun to watch a train go around on a figure 8. The Fastrack criss cross track works well and trains do not derail when going across it.Around the same time that we bought the figure 8 track, we moved from having our set on the living room floor to putting it on a 4' x 8' plywood table in the basement. From there, we started adding switches to create an oval around the figure 8. To me, within the constraints of a 4 x 8 layout, a figure 8 embedded in an oval is about as good as it gets in terms of having an interesting layout.My recommendation is to start with the figure 8 and then, as your finances allow, buy some switches and track to connect the sides of the figure 8 into an oval. There are two challenges with this. First, switches cost around $40 each. Second, the gap to close the side of the track by the switches is an odd length of 30.91 inches. What worked for me was to close each side of the loop with (2) 10 inch tracks + (1) 5 inch track + (3) 1.375 inch tracks + (1) 1.75 inch track. This leaves a gap of about 1/32" but there is enough flex in the track to make this work.

Picked up the used one and it's a perfect fit for my O gauge train. No cons, just all good--it was in perfect condition--just the package was opened.

Nice

Planning a layout for my neighbors Christmas room. She has everything but trains. I take care of that!

This crossover track was a bit pricey for what we got, but it is exactly what was needed to add onto his railroad track.

it fits my track and allows me to use train set

Perfect addition to my layout. Also purchased the 90 degree as well. I like the sound the train and cars make when they travel over the diamond.

lionel fastrack is good track. easy to use, good electrical connections,

Fast delivery

The price of this product is high considering the amount of product "material" included in its manufacturing. However it is very functional and I recommend it for giving more flexibility and options for designing or expanding your O Gauge layout. Most toy train operators will use either this or the 90 degree crossover. Other angles of crossovers are used more rarely but available . Its an official Lionel product so the quality cannot be beat. Recommended if you need it. Gives an interesting mix of possibilities for layout design.

Le tout est parfait.

Cet item devrait être vendu avec les items 12025 ce qui faciliteraient l'installation, surtout pour les débutants

I have a couple of these. They do what they are designed to do (build a figure eight on your layout, or introduce some interesting multiple train action beyond a boring oval or loop) but they are very expensive for the amount of "material" that you get in this part. An alternative would be to raise some portions of your layout to cross over a track using tressel or some scenery design incline building material such as foam. Recommended.
