Will this work with the o gauge set ? I don't understand the o-27 in the title listing. Is that a different train ?

Hello. Yes. This car will work with the O gauge set. Basically, the "O" refers to the size, or scale of the locomotive, cars, track, and accessories of a given train set. The term "gauge" refers to the distance between track rails. O gauge track measures 1.25 inches from outer rail to outer rail. Anything that is O gauge should run fine on O track. In the O gauge model railroad world, the size of curves is designated in terms of diameter (radius in HO scale). Historically, Lionel produced O gauge train sets that could operate in small spaces... very tight curves. O-27 indicates that the item, be it a locomotive or some piece of rolling stock, can handle curves as tight as 27 inches in diameter. Some locomotives and some rolling stock cannot handle such tight curves. I no longer have my polar express set, but if I remember correctly, the curves that come with the set are O-36. That just means that, when assembled, the curved sections will have a 36 inch diameter/18 inch radius. Hope that is helpful.

Yes, it will work just fine with the original O-gauge Polar Express set. Press the whistle button on your transformer to hear Tom Hanks say, "All aboard! This is the Polar Express."

Do not know. Our train broke in several areas the 1st or 2nd day after my grandson received it for Christmas. I do not in any way recommend this train for purchase. Cheap all the way around!!!

Not really. The cars have the same connectors but the wheels are wider on 10558 than on the regular Duplo trains. This means that 10558 cars won't go through switches, bridges, or level crossings. They do work on straights and curves, but are not optimal.

The track looks like a HO gauge. Some of the other literature on similar trains show it may be a G scale. Title says "Large Scale" Could be O. Buyer be ware if not sure.

It depends on the size. If its .027 scale the new speed tracks will work. Hope this helps.

Yes the trains do. The difference when using the Die cast and Stack track you need to watch for is in the different track connectors. Sometimes they will come with adapters though.

Yes, you can use these wheel sets for your HO train set. These are good option for upgrade on your freight cars.

No, I have an O-27 and accidentally ordered the O36 FasTrack. They are not compatible.

As long as it is an O gage track with a full turn diameter of 36 inches or larger, it will be ok. Smaller diameter turns are too tight.

I am sorry, but I do not think it will. I really need to go in and change my review. I said high-rail when I should have said O27, which is sold by MTH. I purchased the transformer from MTH and hoped it would run my On30 DC. Unfortunately it did not.

O is the gauge of the train while the 27 represents the minimum curve track you can have the train run on.

Gauge is extremely important especially if you are buying it sight unseen........"G" gauge is larger than "O" gauge. If you have a lot of room to set-up a train set, this would be great but there are less buildings and accessories available as opposed to the smaller "HO" and "N" gauge which you can buy tons of stuff for. The "G" gauge accessories will cost you a lot more due to there large size. I hope that this helped you and was a direct answer for you.........

No, it is actually a pretty decent price - the G gauge goes for quite a bit cheaper, perhaps that is your confusion. The cheapest price Amazon has had on this O gauge set is $139 back in September which is an unheard of price for new Lionel O gauge sets.

Amazon has sent me this question as I have bought the Bachmann Royal Blue Ready to Run Electric Train Set previously. I'm sorry but I don't understand what this is all about. I can only say that the aforementioned Set is 'N' scale (gauge) and comes complete with loco, tender, coaches (passenger cars), track and controller.

Hi Marshall in sorry I gave the set as a gift to a train collector who really kniw his stuff. If I can get an answer from him I'll try. Ty

I use it on HO but I don't know if it works on O scale. It works perfectly on HO

No these two track sets will not hook together, and the trains will only work on the appropriate track.
