I'm interested in the Lionel Harry Potter Hogwarts Express Train Set - O-Gauge but before I purchase it I need to know what the radius and outside dim

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.

I dont remember. The 2 trains I recieved never worked for me. So I do not own one.

I have no issues running the Polar Express (6-31960) with an 11' x 14' foot layout. It contains 14 pieces of the O36 curves. I'm using the Lionel 80 watt transformer.

Several things will determine if these will fit the Lionel Polar Express train. Are these cars (caboose, engine...) O gauge? What type coupling system does it have--it must match the Lionel brand. To be sure--suggest you take them down to your hobby shop who carries Lionel trains and ask them.

I do not have the Thomas die cast trains so I cannot answer for sure. However, we have three different type of "wood train sets" that we have purchased over the years. They all work with this track. I think the track width is pretty stnadard

Hi Denise. It's not any scale or track ready. I asked if it will fit ho model railway and they said yes. But the car itself is actually bigger then a g gauge train. Lol. It's about 300 mm long and about 150 mm wide. It's just a toy car that has the rail wheels tucked up ready for use as in the movie. But they don't move up or down. Anyways it just a big model car with a bad description. If you want one ill sell you mine for half the price I paid, it's never been opened and probly never will. Lol. Ok I hope I helped you not fall into the same trap I fell into. As I thought it'd look awesome running around my track. Ok. Maxx Hi Denise. It's not any scale or track ready.

You can make a circle by using only the curves. The outside diameter of the circle will be slightly less than 40 inches. The train overhangs the track as it goes around so that might be a problem. The track will fit within a 40 inch square, but the train will overhang slightly as it goes around. To connect the power to a curve, use regular 18 gauge or heavier wire to connect the transformer to the tabs on the bottom of the track. You'll have to bend these up a bit, fit the wire underneath, and then use tape to hold them in place.

During my shop for these items, Amazon paired this with gear I might need. I forget the dimensions, however I recommend the 8' track. The track and all items I had to order were separate on one order. I did comparative research for these pieces and it seems there is only a cpl box track designs that fit THIS particular set up. Hope this helps.

This was a great set for the price, however it was not compatible with Thomas trains like it says. The tracks are slightly smaller. You can make it work but its not what i was hoping for

I don't have the train in front of me (it's with my grandson) but I was very pleased with the overall size, It was small enough for his hands, but not tiny by any means. It was roughly 18 inches long. It was well made, durable, and he loved it.

Either AA or AAA I am not sure. It has been put away for next Christmas decorating. Turned out to be too much too soon for my grandchildren. They like the train they can push. This is probably more information than you want, but thought I would include in case you are considering it for a child under 6.

Kind of an abstract question but to give you some idea gauges are the size of the train the G and H are bigger than the O and HO the smallest size is Z (rediculoulsy small). To give you a reference size G is about as big as one of those Duraflame logs you can buy at the grocery store. G is the standard size for trains people put around their tree at Christmas time.

The track is about 4 feet circular and can be extended to an oval. The plastic track is included. Because it is genuine "G-scale" (garden scale, larger than HO OR O), additional track can be purchased at a hobby store or online. Mine runs outside on about 100 feet of metal track. The set includes a standard gauge loco, tender, open gondola car & caboose.

It fits the standard width that the Thomas ones run on. One note about this toy: it runs on a single AAA or AA battery. We found that the battery never lasted very long. I mean like a couple days of use. Then the train would slow stop working. Sort of annoying.
