Lionel trains use three tracks for O and O27 guage trains, however, Lionel now owns and manufactures American Flyer Trains which run S gauge and are two tracks. So, the guage of the train will determine the number of tracks.

Hi George! Do not know of any LIONEL trains that run on two rail tracks. I switched over to FASTRACK a few years back and they are wonderful, especially if you're running your trains on carpeting. Unlike the older three rail track designs, the FASTRACKS stay locked together. Although more expensive than traditional tracks, they more than make up for the higher price in pleasure and ease of use. Hope this helps.Robert

Make sure you have it on the track correctly. If that doesn't do it I wish I could help you....mine actually stopped working all together and could not be returned. Haven't replaced it yet....not sure I'm going to either.

Yes. You can buy extra track from http://amazon.com. You can also buy track through other stores that sell lionel trains. Just make sure to get the write type of track. There are different kinds of track.

Hello. The cars and tracks are seperate from each other. You can use them together or seperate.

I called Fisher Price and the first rep said she did not know. i had to call a second 800# and the rep said the train is stand alone, other engines do not work on the track. What a bummer!! My son won't be too happy. i think the "take along" sets have other engines you can add . Wish i knew before i bought this.

Yes you can. The set comes with 2 straight pieces of track (one is where the power supply attaches) and 8 curved sections. You can easily add additional "Lionel Fast Track" track sections (straight or curved) and train cars to the set. The remote Thomas engine is a surprisingly strong puller, and can easily handle an additional 3 - 6 cars (often advertised as Thomas O gauge expansion packs). Enjoy!

The tracks will lay flat on low pile carpet - just make sure to use the clips they provide in-between each section of track. Your kids will love it - our kids loved the train and used it with the Cowboy / Fort set (picture bandits and Native Americans attacking the train) and also the House / Town set (not quite so exciting - family from the "big house" on the hill go down to the town).

I don't know. You really don't want to buy this train. It constantly de-rails.

Lol! Great question. Our's did the same. I tried super glue but it didn't last real long. Check with a Lionel distributer maybe. I've seen other little Lionel sets. Maybe they sell separate engines?

Everything Lionel makes now is unfortuatnely coming from China. I own this train and it's neat, but it could be nicer and i would pay more if It was made here in the USA, like it use to be. Lioinel might make something here in teh USA still but everything I have bought is all China lately.

Hi Denise. It's not any scale or track ready. I asked if it will fit ho model railway and they said yes. But the car itself is actually bigger then a g gauge train. Lol. It's about 300 mm long and about 150 mm wide. It's just a toy car that has the rail wheels tucked up ready for use as in the movie. But they don't move up or down. Anyways it just a big model car with a bad description. If you want one ill sell you mine for half the price I paid, it's never been opened and probly never will. Lol. Ok I hope I helped you not fall into the same trap I fell into. As I thought it'd look awesome running around my track. Ok. Maxx

It has, 100?, pieces which includes trains. It really is worth the price. Amazon has a separate pack of trains that I bought too, but I think there are now too many on the table!

The cars are huge and it's not enough track for a train that large. Either order more track or don't get it. Ours won't stay on the track when it goes around the short turns.

Train does not run on track. The track is a cheap plastic. also you are right does not bear any weight. Waste of money

Look at the on-line photos at first. Set the track out in some kind of configuration (we like the figure eight); then snap it together. You'll get it! We just got a second set and still haven't figured put how we are going to combine the two. Use your imagination and have fun!

Yes and no. The track is mostly a hard plastic with steel track that run the electricity. The cars are all plastic with a steel under it for the base and wheels that run on the track. It is not cheap by any means. This is Lionel O-gauge so you can up grade it and add different cars at any time.
