Someone pointed out in an earlier post that the pins are of different diameter, so that has to be dealt with. I have old track, so mixing & adjusting connections are part of the Zen of toy trains. Happy Rails!

I have a small table so I was thinking to use my 027 with Railtrax and the track adapter that MTH has. My table is 30 x 72. What do u think? #Post#: 826-------------------------------------------------- Re: O27 and O gauge track By: djacobsen Date: December 7, 2014, 3:48 pm --------------------------------------------------------- If your train will operate on the O27 curves without binding and you can fit the track together, I'd give it a try. Just remember to keep the speed down or cover the floor with pillows to soften the impact when you launch your locomotive into the ether, high balling into the curve. ::) ;D ;) #Post#: 827-------------------------------------------------- Re: O27 and O gauge track By: mrnavy2 Date: December 7, 2014, 4:08 pm --------------------------------------------------------- :-) #Post#: 828-------------------------------------------------- Re: O27 and O gauge track By: TrainLarry Date: December 7, 2014, 4:39 pm --------------------------------------------------------- There are special track pins to connect '027' with '0' gauge track. The Train Tender carries part #2948-10 (HTM) http://www.ttender.com/partslist.html (HTM) http://www.ttender.com/partslist.html As has been stated, due to the different heights of the tracks, the '027' track will have to be shimmed to match the height of the '0' track.
