MTH offers 3 radii also in a molded roadbed track....r20, r25, r30. This track is also still available on the secondary market from the old S-Helper-Service line.
Lionel offers AF Fastrack in 2 radii...r20 and r27.
Hi,
I am new in S-scale (1/64) and wanted to ask few stupit questions:
For starting my layout I bought few S-Helper tracks and few MTH S-Trax, which are probably the same. But are they compatible with Lionel's AF FasTrack ? Can I use vintage Gilbert's AF hi-rail rolling stock mixed together with scale rolling stock on S-Trax ?
When looking at the rolling stock, are the MTH couplers compatible with American Models couplers? When I have TMCC and DCS in my existing 3-rail O gauge collection, can I control remotely the coupling/uncoupling of S-scale engines with those command control systems? I assume TMCC would be for Lionel AF engines, DCS for MTH S-gauge engines and American Models engines would be manually without any coupler control just analog. Or is it better to replace all the couplers with Kadee's prototypical and mechanical couplers (#802 or #808)?
Thanks.
