Let me know the width of this train series (rail) please. Most of trains have 1-inch width but some smaller trains have 2-cm width.

Sorry but was gift so is not available to measure. However, I purchased track that went with an engine set and then later purchased track that said it worked with the "wooden" Thomas sets and they do all fit together. I think the key is does it work with the "wooden" Thomas engines.

My 11 year old son is the train genius of the family. He explained to me that you must know the scale of the train. His is an HO which means it is half the size of an O scale. HO appears to be the most popular. O is quite large. If you google model train scales it will show the different scales of model trains.

The set comes the lionel fastrack. The standard straight section is 10" long. The item that you need to order is 6-12014. Thanks Len B E Discount Trains

My rails are 1.5" x 1.5"...would likely accommodate larger. DIY experiment... quite flexible.

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.

Not sure about the actual width, but it is a standard Weaver or Piccatiny rail and will work with any item that fits these rails. Your manufacturer should tell you what rail the item will fit. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

Hi Brandon,I would assume- yes, I know what that can mean- that you can run a dcc-compatible locomotive with the Athearn TrainPak. I've run HO scale dcc-ready locos wth an AutoPulse Twin Momentum 5 for several years, while the TrainPak now powers my N scale coffee table layout. Sorry I couldn't be more definitive, but I'd say that it should work for you.

I asked my som to test this for you. The wooden railway and battery operated trains fit. The smaller "Take n Play" do not. They are too small. I hope this helps!

So, the ho trains are pretty big compared to some 1:400 scale airplanes. For example, an Airbus A320, which is a medium sized aircraft, is bigger than a real train car. The A320 in 1:400 scale is only about two inches long witch is a little smaller than an ho scale train. Long story short, ho scale trains and 1:400 scale would not look proportional at all! Hope this helps!

I have bought both. Looks the same size to me. In fact, I bought this birthday train for my 2 year old grandson. It looks really cute.

Sorry, I don't know scale sizes of cars or trains, but I can give you the dimensions of the truck = 5 1/2" long x 2" wide x 2 1/2" high.

14" long 1/15th scale. Probably not rail ready for a scale railroad unless you do a lot of modification.

HO scale is 1:87 and most rolling stock(train cars) will use what is labeled as 33" wheels. If you're asking as to the actual length of an freight car for example, then each car will vary slightly in actual length but, they all use 33" wheels.

The footprint of the station is 11-1/4 wide and about 9 long. Hope this helps. The dimensions are just the station only, no lead in track. We have loads of fun building up to it and using the station.

I don't have top rail powered HO trains, just the traditional HO trains, so I can't answer your question directly. However, the shelves are 2 5/8 inches apart. That's measuring with metal, wood, plastic rulers. I notice others have said 2 1/2 or about 2 1/2". Use of ruler with closer measuring scale gives a clearer, more accurate information.

I have one of these, I had a layout just 48" X 78" and it was working fine, I doubled the size to 96" X 78" and when I connected it and try to run only one locomotive to test my layout, it started giving smell and smoke started coming out of it, now it dont work anymore, it had hardly 4 total running hours on it.

I would probably have to say no. The whole roll of tape is only 2" wide & the track design on the tape is less than an inch wide. The wheel base width on these trains are exactly 2" minimum but will spread out an additional 1/8" or so, so they would barely fit on the tape at all. If there is any track tape out there that is wider, then it might work.
