Can or will Lionel 027 and Lionel O gauge track mate to each
other?

O & O27 track can be put together
but
the O27 will have to be shimmed to match the O track height.
Someone pointed out in an earlier post that the pins are of
different diameter,
so that has to be dealt with.
I have old track, so mixing & adjusting connections are part of
the Zen of toy trains.
Happy Rails!

Thanks Dave. I have a small table so I was thinking to use my
027 with Railtrax and the track adapter that MTH has. My table
is 30 x 72. What do u think?

If your train will operate on the O27 curves without binding and
you can fit the track together, I'd give it a try. Just
remember to keep the speed down or cover the floor with pillows
to soften the impact when you launch your locomotive into the
ether, high balling into the curve.
::) ;D ;)

There are special track pins to connect '027' with '0' gauge
track. The Train Tender carries part #2948-10

As has been stated, due to the different heights of the tracks,
the '027' track will have to be shimmed to match the height of
the '0' track.
