After 20 years, Lionel FasTrack has become a successful transition from the earlier tubular track, offering many advantages in use and applications. Much of the success of FasTrack has to do with the track itself, its attractive geometry and of course its more realistic appearance with simulated ties and roadbed. Here is a short history of FasTrack along with a chart of select sizes for the most efficient use of filling straight track gaps.
