Track & Roadbed

Walthers 948-9010 is a 5-pack of HO scale double-track foam roadbed — pre-shaped sections, each 36" (91.4cm) long, designed to support two parallel tracks for a prototypical mainline double-track look. Made from dense, closed-cell foam that matches standard HO cork roadbed dimensions, this roadbed quiets train running noise, lifts the mainline above the surrounding scenery, and provides a smooth, ready-to-paint surface for ballast.

Features Five 36" (91.4cm) sections of double-track foam roadbed — 15 feet of mainline base in one package Pre-shaped for two parallel tracks (proper double-track spacing built in) Dense, closed-cell foam matches common HO cork roadbed dimensions for easy mixing with cork sections 3/16" thick, 3-1/2" wide at the top, 3-7/8" wide at the base Smooth surface — no extra sanding before painting or ballasting Track can be nailed or glued; cuts cleanly with a hobby or utility knife Quiets train running noise compared to bare benchwork Scale: HO (1:87) More Information Brand Walthers Track Item Number 948-9010 Scale HO (1:87) Product Type Double-Track Foam Roadbed (5-Pack) Material Closed-cell foam Section Length 36" (91.4cm) each, 5 per package Dimensions per piece 3/16" thick × 3-1/2" top width × 3-7/8" base width Condition New UPC 616374219537 FAQ Will this work with cork roadbed I already have on my layout?Yes. Walthers foam roadbed is dimensionally compatible with standard HO cork roadbed, so you can transition between the two with just a small bevel where they meet. Do I need to glue the roadbed down before laying track?Most modelers glue the foam roadbed to the benchwork with foam-safe latex caulk or white glue, then lay track on top with track nails or more glue. The foam will accept either nails or adhesive directly. What track spacing does this support?The double-track profile is sized for HO scale double-track mainline spacing (typically 2" between track centerlines), matching prototype practice. You can use it with Walthers Code 83/100 flex track, Atlas, Bachmann, or any standard HO track. How much double-track mainline can 5 pieces cover?Five 36" sections give you 15 feet of double-track base — enough for a meaningful double-track loop on a 4'×8' or larger layout, or a long mainline run in a shelf-style around-the-room layout.

The Lionel 6-12039 FasTrack Railer is the small but essential accessory every O-gauge operator needs on their layout. Place this 10-inch ramped track section anywhere on your line, and you can effortlessly guide locomotives, freight cars, and passenger cars onto the rails — no more wrestling wheels onto track or risking a fall off the bench. It's compatible with Lionel FasTrack as well as traditional O and O-27 tubular track. Key Features Compatible with Lionel FasTrack, O Gauge, and O-27 tubular track 10-inch length integrates seamlessly into any layout Molded plastic construction for durability and lightweight handling Tapered ramps gently steady wheels as you place rolling stock on the rails Saves time and reduces wear on couplers, trucks, and detail parts Specifications Brand Lionel Item Number 6-12039 Scale / Gauge O Gauge / O-27 Length 10 inches Material Plastic UPC 023922120397 Compatibility Lionel FasTrack, traditional O, O-27 Why You Need One Anyone who has tried to set a six-axle diesel or a string of passenger cars onto live track knows the struggle — fingers, couplers, and details all get in the way. The FasTrack Railer takes the stress out of that moment: roll the car onto the ramped section, and the wheel flanges drop right into place. Keep one near your yard ladder, your engine terminal, or wherever you cycle equipment on and off the layout. FAQ Will this work with my Lionel FasTrack?Yes. It is purpose-built to integrate with the FasTrack system and joins to standard FasTrack sections without adapters. Does it work with traditional O-27 tubular track?Yes — Lionel designed it to be compatible with both FasTrack and traditional O / O-27 track, so you can use it on a vintage layout as well. Do I need power running through this section?No, it's a passive piece designed solely for placing trains on the track. It does not conduct or interrupt power. How many should I have on a layout?One is enough for most home layouts, but operators with multiple staging yards or engine terminals often install one at each frequently-used loading point.

Kato Narrow Gauge Unitrack brings the same snap-together roadbed track N scale modelers rely on to HOe, HOn30 and OO-9 layouts. The 52-301 is a compact #4 right-hand electric turnout with a 481mm (19") diverging radius and a built-in switch machine, sized for sidings, passing loops, yard leads and island platforms on 9mm gauge track. It comes with two short extension tracks for the diverging side, so you can build a clean siding right out of the package.

Two short extension tracks included for the diverging side. Tie spacing is scaled for narrow gauge models, not N scale, for a more convincing HOe or OO-9 look. Snaps together with UniJoiners. No nails, glue or ballasting needed. Frequently Asked Questions What do I need to throw it electrically?A Kato 24-840 Turnout Control Switch, sold separately. It plugs into the turnout lead wire and connects to the accessory terminals of your power pack. Does it work with my N scale Unitrack?It shares the same 9mm gauge and UniJoiner connection, so it will physically join N scale Unitrack. The ties are spaced for narrow gauge, so it looks different sitting next to N scale track. Can I use it on a DCC layout?Yes. The track works on DC or DCC. To throw the turnout from your DCC system, wire the switch machine to a stationary accessory decoder instead of the 24-840. Is the left-hand version available?Yes, the Kato 52-300 is the left-hand turnout, listed below.
