They came out with the fastrack system for there trains it was a great idea. The tracks looks real more real then the others. I got them on my layout it makes your old trains run like new no derailments it keep your train on track you can set it up on carpet in your house it easy snaps together.

This is a good product, just be sure to consider purchasing more 10-inch sections before you click Buy. This remote control switch works just like a manual switch except that it is operated by a remote control and has a turning LED to indicate the current position.

The wire connects to the inside part of the curve, but it is easy to move to the outside, which makes it easier to route it where you want it to go. Supposedly you can also move the LED from the inside of the curve to the outside, but I have not done this. The only thing I have against this product is the fact that the wire for the remote is…
