Availability of O27 track

Pretty sure that Lionel announced it would stop manufacturing all tubular track, so the supply out there is what's in peoples' collections and on dealer shelves. K-Line made it, but they're gone.

I'm in the process of building a new layout. Like you, I like O27 tubular, so I gobbled up a good amount of 42", 54" and 72" curves in O27 profiles as well as enough 42" wide turnouts to have a few extras.  My LHS always seemed to have stock of O27 track, but they closed recently. As part of their going-out-of-business sale, I picked up a case of O27 long straights as insurance.

My advice is that if you're going to stick with O27 track, buy it when you can find it, especially the wider curves. I think the 27" curves themselves will always be plentiful.

I'm also using 027 and found everything on Thebay. I am using 027 curves so I had no trouble finding plenty available. One pair of 042 switches took a little while to find, but not long.
Train shows are probably the second best place to look.

Over the years I've acquired a lot of good quality O27 track from train shows.  K-Line 72" curves are hard to find, but you should be able to find Lionel 42" and 54".  You can clean the tops of older dirty track and use in less visible areas.  I prefer the profile of K-Line 42" switches.

Agree with all above, a lot of hobby shops still have stocks online, Marx also made a bunch of wider curves and switches in the lower profile. K-line also had some. I' picked up the O-27 super K curves which are O-42. I really like the way they look, and they made O-42 low profile switches to go with them.

Word of advice on the Marx O-34 switches. I have found that you need to add a guardrail on both legs to have most engines go through them correctly. Take a look at some of the old threads from ACE and you can see how to modify them.

At my shop, we have about 9 "paper ream boxes" full of 0-27 profile curves and straights. also acquired some long O-27 profile straights as well. If you are interested in any, contact White Rose Hobbies in York PA! We can get you hooked up with what you need!

I have a pile of tubular 027 track in all sizes....just have to sort them out,one of these days....042 switches too.

My layout is all O27 profile, minimum 42" curves and switches.

I'm hanging on to what I have for the next major expansion.

What do you need, man? As this isn't the sale forum, I don't want to discuss in forum. However, I once had a 5x22 layout that was all O27 profile 42"/54" curves with 42" turnouts. I am switching to Ross for the next layout, so email me using the one in the profile if you like.
