Since both of these buildings (see photos) predate Lionel's Fastrack, I need to know whether they will accept/work with Fastrack either with or without physical accommodations/alterations to either the Fastrack roadbed or the buildings.

If alterations are needed, what eaxtly is required? Also, for anyone who's using these structures with Fastrack, what is the sideways clearance between odge of the Fastrack roadbed and the building entrance door openings and also the train height clearance between the top of Fastrack rails and the top of the doorway openings?

Thanks in advance for answering my questions.

Kenn,do a mock-up and see how it fits.If it doesn't fit,you have two simple choices IMO.Rip  1/8 inch off  each side of the fast track with a table saw -OR- use a fast track transition piece converting to O scale tubular track before going into the engine house.As for a possible height problem, you may have to rip some wood pieces to size in order to "fir"the building up then paint to match. Good luck

Another option is to simply notch out each side of the Fastrack and then add a styrene strip to the foundation of the engine house walls to raise it up if necessary.

 

The simplest  idea is to build up the ground level to the height of the ballast alongside the tracks with foam core. That way, you wouldn't have to modify anything.
