Publisher's Note
When Lionel introduced its new FasTrack system in 2004, model train enthusiasts quickly warmed to the increased realism—right down to the integrated roadbed and darkened center rail—and the greater ease of use.  In this book, the author of The Big Book of Lionel presents the first complete guide to the FasTrack system.  Amply illustrated with color photographs and 36 track diagrams, the book instructs readers on every aspect of the system, from assembling and disassembling FasTrack to building a simply oval, planning a layout within various space constraints, building tracks for two trains and reversing trains, and designing unique layouts—even yard layouts.

FASTRACK LIONEL BOOK (R. Schleicher)

Created: 08/10/09
This interesting book is not an official publication of LIONEL.

ADVANTAGES : Well illustrated, this 158 pages book contains 185 illustrations (135 photos and 50 diagrams). High quality of illustrations and text make it easy to understand (my language is French). Very helpful for choosing pertinent Lionel Fastrack items on eBay or other distributors. Many big and small layouts.

WEAKNESS : Ping-Pong table layout (p.67-68-69).
New orientation of diagram layout (top p. 67) to be rotate parallel to photography (p.69) would ameliorate comprehension.
Exact location of trestle sets (6-12037, 6-12038) and bridge (6-12772) are not well represented in pages 28, 29, 67 and 69.
Some photos are unnecessary (ex. p. 29), repetitive (ex. p. 54-55, 68-69, 70-71, 72-73) or missing (ex. terminal track : 6-12016).
No range price are given for items on pages 18-19.

Very good book with lots of information on all the Fastrack available at the time. It talks about hooking the track together, securing it to a surface, what to put under the track to eliminate noise, wiring, blocks, running multiple trains, tables to put the track on, and has lots of layouts you can build. It talks about hooking up various accessories. If you're just starting out with Lionel Fastrack or you want to increase the size or complexity of a Fastrack layout then this is the right book.

LIONEL FASTRACK BOOK

Created: 06/08/06
I have been collecting trains for over 40 years and I have not had a sei up for over 20 years. I just recently started to set up my O scale trains and I did not know anything about Lionels new fastrack, so I purchased this book and I want to tell you it is excellent! It tells you everything you want to know about the track and how to use the old lionel accesaries with it.
