Loco trackI am looking to get this track lot. But I am not sure if it'll work for my Sl3. Anyone know anything about these tracks?http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI....3AMEWAX%3AIT&salenotsupported |

Looks to be O27 IMHO you might be better off with more modern stuff.
this might be better http://cgi.ebay.com/LIONEL-STANDA...CK-LOT-NICE_W0QQitemZ360166939986 Just straight track here http://cgi.ebay.com/Lionel-10-Pie...ail-track-O_W0QQitemZ220446341604 If it is O27 you want I might have some you can have, but expect frequent derailments and forget about running some cars and Locos as the flanges will be too deep. Note the difference between the height of Standard O gauge and O27 
Best to spend on what really works the best instead of buying something that just gets put in a box. |

Standard O gauge Lionel is a lot less expensive than regular Mamod track. |
