@Greg Houser posted:IMHO these improvements should be made asap to capitalize on the large percentage of hobbyists with a Christmas layout:
- the prepackaged oval should be 40x60, not 40x50. This will match what comes with sets as well is what is done with the Fastrack prepackaged oval which is sold now. Personally, I was disappointed in this before I purchased the oval but after opening up the package I was actually a bit angry. There is plenty of space for 2 more straight sections but Lionel filled it with cardboard.
- if Lionel won't do my first suggestion, the next one is to sell individual track sections and not just the 4 section packs.
- they need to add a power lock-on, a power block lock-on, and accessory activator pack to line so we don't have to jury rig accessories (or hide the regular Fastrack ones that are used loosely with an extra power cable).
Longer term improvements would be to add larger diameter curves and switches.
I do agree, it's a great product and really makes the layout under the tree stand out!

Greg,
All good points. Based on most of the early feedback on this new product, it appears that Lionel has a winner with this lighted track. Would be nice to see your suggestions taken into consideration and make lighted track a comprehensive offering like standard track.
