How wide is the track? - what is the max width a car can be to fit in the track and roll normally? Thanks

What I have found so far, you can only use the cars that come with the tracks. The track measures 2 1/4 " on the inside of the track and 3' on the outside. I have found you need to buy a couple of sets of the track to really make a good size track. The batteries do run out fast on the cars.

Im sure theres some tracks it will fit on but until you have one to size it up you will never know. Many different tracks many different sizes.

Based on the info in the train description "approximately 35 inch diameter track" and doing the math - the circumference of the track in about 9 feet around. Hope this helps.

Instead of making the circle/oval my son makes a straight(ish) track that runs along side the shops in his town. We have a ton of playmobil because he is 8 and has been recieving gifts of playmobil for many years. By making a straight line he can make stops along the various shops--sometimes moving freight and sometimes giving tours and just lots of possiblities this way. I'm estimating from memory since I'm at work that each piece of track is about 8 inches so using it in straight line makes it over 8 feet long. Plus he finds it very satisfying to drive it backward through the town and occassionally making it run off the track causing emergencies.

This set comes with an oval of Fastrack (the latest Lionel track model). There are enough curved pieces to make a complete circle which has a 36" diameter to the center rail. The outside diameter of the track is approximately 38". The engine and cars are relatively long, so they swing outside the track when making the curve. I recommend at least 40 inches of clearance for the short axis of the oval.

No - the track is specific to the cars that come with it. They have to be a certain weight to work best

No... The track size will be 39 1/2" x 90 1/2" according to Lionel http://www.lionelstore.com/track/figure-8-add-on-track-pack.html

This track is very strong, I have a Ford Trk and drive this everyday in and out of the carport and have no problems, even when I have two pieces side by side due to the opening is 12' wide.

dont know exact width, but this is definitely more of an outdoor toy. Rugged wheels and is a little to fast for indoor use.

The track comes mostly assembled - it just snaps together, and unsnaps and it can be rolled up for storage.The cars are assembled and only need batteries. A three year old may be able to assemble it, but may need some help. But someone that age can definitely operate it.

The cars fit good for the track. They are really small though and you can't put any other car on the track but my 3 year old loves it! So I'd buy it again.

i have this parking building and i'm using 1:61 cars, they fit but you need to lubricate both the tracks and the cars. suggest you get smaller cars

I used hot wheels on it, and matchbox r similar but do not roll as well. I would say they probably will fit on the track, but will fall off while going down the steep drops. Either way my two year old still loves to play with both cars and trains on the teach, and we do too. It's a great family toy for almost all ages!

Each of the 2 ramps is 6-1/2" wide, but the track opening is 4-1/2". I use one track as a ramp for a small dog to access a bed!

They are the standard tracks for Hot Wheels, 1 1/2 inches wide at the top edges, the inside width is slightly narrower.

this is a very nice setup I used them to replace a double sliding door setup with a tin track. the aluminum track is far better than the tin track the tin track was all bent and warped the rollers kept coming off the track. this won't happen with this. i think the track is about 1.25" x 1.25" with about .75" of adjustability up and down I'm not sure but I will look at it tomorrow at work and I'll get back with you then

These trains were a gift for my grandson. (He loves them!) My daughter says these trains fit the "Thomas" standard size tracks, which are 1 9/16" wide. The width of these trains (from outside tire to outside tire) are 1 1/16". I hope this helps.
