Reply to "Who makes tubular "Lionel" track?"

Gargraves makes tubular "T" rail track & they have adapter pins to "mate"  with Lionel's track. Their straights are 37" long & are "flex" design, to be bent as needed. GG also makes preformed curves up to 072 as well as switches & X-ings. Their 3-rail track is available using stainless steel, for use where moisture is an issue.  

I use the quotes because I'm not sure it's actually Lionel.  The Lionel website only shows Fastrack, although I can find new tubular, identified as Lionel, on various websites and in train shops.  Is Lionel still making it, is all this inventory old stock, or did Lionel sell off the tools and rights to use the name on the old style track?  I ask because most of my layout is original postwar track and I'm thinking ahead to expansion and replacement of original fussy switches.  (My lottery winning plan is to swap everything out for Atlas O, but I'd have to play the lottery to win!) Thanks for any info you guys might have.

 

 

Update - Thanks to some replies below, it appears Lionel's site does show tubular track under the Products link.  However, if you go first to the Lionel Store link, it's only Fastrack.  Makes you wonder...
