O Gauge Track Explained: Tubular vs FasTrack vs Atlas (What I Use)

Описание: Choosing the right O gauge track can make or break your layout. In this video, I break down tubular track, FasTrack, RealTrax, and scale track — and explain why I prefer Atlas.

There are a lot of options when it comes to O gauge track, and it can be overwhelming — especially if you’re new to the hobby or rebuilding a layout.

In this video, I walk through the major types of O gauge track, including traditional tubular track, Lionel FasTrack, MTH RealTrax, and scale O track. I talk about the pros and cons of each, what they’re best used for, and how they behave on real layouts — not just on paper.

I also explain why my personal preference is Atlas O track, especially for permanent layouts where flexibility, smooth operation, and realistic appearance matter.

This video isn’t about telling you what you have to use — it’s about helping you understand your options so you can make the best choice for how you run trains.
