Lionel O-27 Scale 27 Inch Diameter Curved Track Section

Great train replacement track!

As Expected

Just what I needed

I purchased additional track for an unused Lionel train set from 1982. The original box came with minimal track pieces, but buying this extra track made the gift giving all the better. It matches perfectly with the unused track we had in the box.

The diameter of the pins was too large. I couldn't get the track to fit together. Note that this is the low height track. Unfortunately I have the older higher height track so this wasn't compatible with my track, even if the pins were smaller in diameter.

Will not fit original Lionel track from mid 40s

For your information the new Lionel 027 track will not fit the old Lionel 027 track.

This is simply a standard curved section of Lionel track most of us remember from our childhoods. It is "O-gauge" which is the standard Lionel gauge. The 27 means that used with other O-27 curved sections, it could make a circle 27" in diameter, or part of an oval track 27" wide. That's actually a fairly tight curve--many longer Lionel cars are meant to be used on broader curves. I use the curved track sections for displaying rare O-gauge cars in a 12" radius corner shelving unit. Normally I use a full track and a half track 6-65014 1/2 Curved single piece of track O27 to fill the space. The reason for using the track, in addition to the fact that it adds to the display, is that it prevents my expensive antique cars from rolling or sliding off the shelf. For extra safety I attach the cars to the tracks with wire-ties on the back side where the wire-ties are not visible.
