       O27 and O gauge track

       Can or will Lionel 027 and Lionel O gauge track mate to each
       other?

       O & O27 track can be put together
       but
       the O27 will have to be shimmed to match the O track height.
       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!

       Thanks Dave.   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?

       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 ;)

       There are special track pins to connect '027' with '0' gauge
       track. The Train Tender carries part #2948-10

       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.
