Can this set be expanded upon? Are more sections of track available? If so, can it be narrowed to 2 lane in some areas?

Yes and yes and yes. The set comes with several excellent plans for real-world tracks. You can makes those or design your own track, which is what I did. You can buy more track also. I did not need to do so, and I was able to make a very challenging two-track layout on my 4x8 table, with one 8-foot straight-a-way and 11 turns, some very tight. By the way, as one buyer previously wrote, the four cars alone are worth the price of the set. They are quick and nimble. The set is loads of fun. Even my five-year-old grandson can do it with little practice, and my wife is the best, having the perfect delicate touch and aggressiveness to keep the car going very fast and never leaving the track.

Yes. You can purchase additional track to create a larger set. We've always sent two lanes one direction and the other two lanes in another direction and eventually bring them back together in a section of the layout.

Not 100% sure on expansion. I believe you can on all sets. And yes you can take it down to 2 lanes. That's how you get some of the longer layouts. We have never done that though.

It's quite possible that the track is too tight. you will probably need to purchase more track and make the whole setup (rails) much larger. If there is one criticism that I have with the LEGO City Passenger Train set is there are too few tracks supplied with the first set. I have purchased two extra sets to spread the layout and it works fine now. Hope this helps.

You can add as much as you want. Just make sure you get EZ track in N scale. I also bought a six pack of straight track on Amazon with this set.

It is pretty larger than the standard one. It will fit but very little room around it for additional track

well it is pretty straight forward however you need enough small and big pieces to be able to interconnect them.. I had to buy 3 starter sets before I could get a larger track setup for my 2 yr old....

I am not sure if you can buy extra track. You might want to check with lego. I do know we have it on an old Thomas the Train table and most of the Lone Ranger lego towns fit inside of it.

I like the starter track that comes with the starter sets, I think it's made better, what I did to exspand my track was to buy 3 sets of straights with the lap counter, that gave me 6 more feet for under $75.00. For your turn track, I spent another $100.00 on another starter set with the most variation of layouts, still cheaper and you can build one heck of a layout

You can buy extra track, cars, landscape, etc. Money, lots of it, are needed with this great hobby. I have track that goes through entire house...if I'm watching TV and Honey is in kitchen she can put a sandwich on a car and deliver it to me. I send a thank note back.

Yes. Do you have a specific question I can help with? I also just saw that one of the commenters posted a pic of the track layout.

You would have to get really creative to do it. The track is not meant to connect with Hot wheels tracks.

It is very easy to assemble , the track just snaps together . You also would have the option to make the track smaller if you wanted to . When it is put together with all the pieces it is pretty big.

It should, but please keep in mind some cars have an upper limitation as to how many tracks they "see", so you may reach that limitation.

Sorry, I don't know a good answer to that. Gave this to my grandsons last Christmas. I do know that they would have liked a little more track to be able to make more configurations, but for a 6 and 4 year old, the pieces were sufficient. I was surprised at how large the cars were. I obviously didn't understand the scale 1:32. I would have preferred smaller cars, but the set was a good one. I was surprised that it didn't have any guard rails. It really needed that. So if those are available, I would invest in that.

U can , but the little one will have to Push it around. I liked it but the cars are neat and u canals The track a lot of different ways.

Yes, you definitely can. Make sure you buy the correct track to match your style train.

A friend of mine and I have this train. He actually had it first, and I bought it after because I like it so much. I am in the same situation as you. He says he buys extra track from a reseller, and will be sending me his information today. I will post the answer shortly.

No. The track didn't last long enough to be able to attached other pieces. It's not that kind of track.
