Do these tracks allow the main set to curve into a figure 8?

Hi, I have not opened yet, as we got this for Christmas. But from my Model Railway experience I would say they would Not do that. Regards

No, just adding the curve pack does not allow you to create a figure 8. You will need to get a 90 degree track for the cross over section as well.

The track pieces I found specific to this set did not allow for any intersection/crossover. In other words, you will not find an a cross "X" track piece to create a figure 8. However, you can get crafty with the curved pieces as long as you have symmetry.

No, you need to buy a Fas Track figure eight set. This set allows for a more sweeping curve so the train is more stable on the track.

Yes-only if you purchase curved track along with a few straight pieces of track/

You will need to piece it together and cut it to size for your application. The track is set in the top bar.

The picture doesn't show that the four "straight" tracks connect to the crossover. So the red X on the picture is actually five pieces... the crossover and four straights connected to it.

I didn't see this item I had it shipped to my grandson's house. I believe it comes with 12 curved and 2 straight track. You can buy 12 straight track pieces extra

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

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.

The track is self-contained. We did purchase a set of cars made for the triple track. Long and heavy cars cannot make the high curves.Our grandson likes using it without the IPad so we have not had that set up except in the very beginning.

Yes and no. If they are all Trackmaster, they theoritically fit together. But the shapes matter. So if the shapes and curves are not designed to make a full circle or a closed loop of sorts, they wont. But the basic tracks will fit together.

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

Not sure. We lost interest in the monotonous train set and packed it away somewhere in the garage. My best guess is it probably takes 4 curve pieces to make a half circle.

You can assemble the track in multiple ways, so you can make it any size you want. As shown, I don't have measurements (sorry not helpful). My son adds it to other sets, so he has tons of different ways to put it together from tiny to huge.

I don't have those other tracks, but if they are the same tracks they should fit. Look at the pictures online and see if they connect the same way.

Sorry you are experiencing difficulty. My experience is that the tracks are a little difficult to snap together (takes a little pushing), but once together fit firmly and well.

Yes. This particular set does not come with any track, but we connected it using track from the train station and recently bought a pack of just track for more flexibility.

I have a 4' X 8' train platform and I needed 2 four-packs of straight track in order to fill out my train village layout. You can use all the straight and curved track youneed based on the size of your train village layout. JLB
