colorado hirailer posted:Who, if anybody, has run modern, current, engines on 0-27 sized track? Like Marx O-34 and l think some wider sizes than Marx....K-line? I have that and Scaletrax. I looked at Menards and think they are making what l consider clunky and conspicuous, that is, like the old Lionel non-0-27 size, which l don't like (ties and height) and don't own a piece of, although l might use it in a tunnel. What I have not seen is O-27 style at Menards?
I don't think Menards' O gauge track is any more "clunky & conspicuous" than what was offered by Lionel. It is O gauge tubular track. We are lucky they decided to offer O Gauge tubular as Lionel has backed away from its production as a new product. Given Menards' investment in O, there is little chance they will complicate their mix with 027 track. If you prefer 027, plenty of it remains available, new & used (& switches), to fill your needs. Good luck in your track decision and Happy Holidays!
