Turn your basic FasTrack oval into a full passing siding with the Lionel 6-12031 Outer Passing Loop Add-On Track Pack. This ready-to-run expansion bolts onto the outside of a standard FasTrack oval, giving you a second parallel main where trains can meet, pass, or park without swapping trains on and off the layout. What's Included Five (5) 10-inch straight track sections Two (2) O-36 curved track sections One (1) right-hand O-36 command/manual switch with 1/4 O-36 curve One (1) left-hand O-36 command/manual switch with 1/4 O-36 curve Features Expands the footprint of a standard FasTrack oval to roughly 49-1/2" x 70-1/2" with an outer passing loop. Simulated ballast roadbed and rail detail match existing FasTrack for a seamless look. Works with conventional, TMCC, and Legacy command control operation. Snap-together pin-and-tab joints go together in minutes — no soldering or nailing required.

It's designed to expand an existing FasTrack oval by adding an outer passing loop, so you'll want a FasTrack starter set or equivalent loop already in place. Will this work with my TMCC or Legacy locomotives?Absolutely. FasTrack is fully compatible with conventional transformer operation as well as TMCC and Legacy command control, so the outer loop and switches will behave the same as the rest of your FasTrack layout. How are the switches powered?The included switches can be thrown manually or powered via the auxiliary power input on each switch — both options are built in so you can decide which you prefer when you install them. Does this include a transformer or engine?No — this is a track-only pack. You'll need a Lionel transformer (or an equivalent O-gauge power pack) and a compatible locomotive to run trains around the expanded loop.

The Lionel 6-12025 is a 4-1/2" straight track section from Lionel's FasTrack system — the easy-to-assemble three-rail O gauge track that's been the backbone of Lionel layouts since 2003. This shorter straight is a perfect filler piece for tight spots, custom layouts, sidings, and yard ladder arrangements where a full 10" straight is too long. What's Included One Lionel FasTrack 4-1/2" straight track section Built-in roadbed with simulated ballast and tie detail Solid nickel-silver running rails and center rail Pre-installed track-pin connectors on each end Specifications Brand Lionel Item Number 6-12025 Track System FasTrack Gauge / Scale O Gauge / O Scale Type Straight Section Length 4-1/2" Construction Three-rail with built-in roadbed Compatibility Lionel FasTrack system (all FasTrack pieces snap together) About FasTrack FasTrack is Lionel's modern O-gauge track system, designed to look great straight out of the box with realistic gray ballast and dark-tie detail molded into the roadbed. The track snaps together with built-in connectors — no separate track pins to fumble with, no roadbed to add later. FasTrack is fully compatible with all Lionel O gauge locomotives and rolling stock that run on traditional tubular O track, including conventional transformer control and TMCC/Legacy command systems. FAQ Will it work with Lionel O27 trains?Yes — FasTrack is O gauge, and most O27 trains will run on it. FasTrack curves are O36 minimum, so very small O27-only locomotives may not navigate the tightest curves, but straight pieces like this 4-1/2" work fine with anything O gauge or O27. Can I mix this with traditional tubular O track?Lionel makes adapter pieces to connect FasTrack to tubular O. The adapters are sold separately. Why use a 4-1/2" straight instead of a 10" straight?Short straights are essential for fitting yards, sidings, and tight spots into your layout. A 4-1/2" piece lets you adjust spacing in increments smaller than the standard 10". More From Squeaky's All O Gauge / O Scale Track Lionel

Lionel FasTrack Remote Uncoupling Track — a 5" straight section with a built-in electromagnet that lets you uncouple cars anywhere on your layout with the press of a button. The roadbed and pin connectors match the rest of the FasTrack system, so it drops right into a yard ladder, siding, or industry spur without any custom wiring on the rails themselves. A button on the included controller activates the magnet to release the coupler when a car is positioned over the section. This piece is the cornerstone of any switching layout — let your operator set out cars at customers and pick them back up without ever touching the rolling stock. Browse our full O Scale Track & Accessories and O Scale Trains & Track to round out your FasTrack system. What's Included Item Qty FasTrack Remote Uncoupling Track section (5") 1 FasTrack Half-Straight Track section 1 Push-button controller with lockon and wires 1 Features Built-in electromagnet uncouples Lionel-style magnetic couplers on command — no manual handling needed. Standard FasTrack profile with molded gray roadbed and pre-attached ties matches the rest of your FasTrack layout. Includes push-button controller and lockon for quick wiring; runs off track power or a fixed 14V AC accessory supply for stronger uncoupling. Half-straight section included for fitting the uncoupler into a standard 10" track block. Snap-together pin connections lock securely with no extra rail joiners required. Scale: O Scale (1:48) — three-rail O Gauge. More Information Brand Lionel Item Number 6-12020 Scale O Scale (1:48) Product Type Operating Track Section Track System Lionel FasTrack Section Length 5" straight (plus included half-straight) Power AC — track power or fixed 14V accessory supply Condition New UPC 023922120205 FAQ Will this uncouple any Lionel car?It uncouples cars equipped with magnetic-style couplers — that includes virtually all modern Lionel rolling stock. Older non-magnetic couplers and Kadee couplers do not uncouple over this track. Does it work better off track power or an accessory supply?Both work, but a fixed 14V AC accessory supply gives the strongest, most reliable uncoupling pulse — especially at low throttle where track voltage can drop too low. Why is a half-straight included?The uncoupling section is 5" long. The included 5" half-straight pairs with it to fill a standard 10" FasTrack block, so you can drop it into an existing layout without re-laying track. Is this compatible with Lionel tubular or American Flyer track?No. FasTrack is its own roadbed system. You'll need a FasTrack-to-tubular transition piece if mixing track systems.
