This is a great switch that really comes in handy. If you are running 027 track but like to use wider radius curves, this is the switch for you. It is 027 gauge track but with 42" radius curve. Everything is here just like it was new. And it MAY be, but all the years of sitting around had produced some oxidation--all pictured.
It comes with
- THE SWITCH
- the small curved track
- the controller
- instructions
- and the 1983 CATALOG
This is a unique item--it has a wide radius 42" curve to it, but it is 027 gauge (NOT O gauge).
Since K-Line has been out of business for a long time, and Lionel stopped making this some time ago, it is getting harder to come by. You do not see it for sale all that often. And you know how great it is to have that wider radius track for your 0-27 gauge track for some variety.
As you know, this track by K-Line has not been made since they shut down a LONG time ago...and now even Lionel has stopped making TUBULAR track. You want to grab it while you can...and if you are a K-Line PURIST...here you go! You wouldn't want anything else.
It matches up to the most common, traditional sized 027 gauge track in K-Line and Lionel sets past and present (until FastTrack), USUALLY the track with brown ties. It does not match up (height wise) to the LARGER O-31 type track which we have available in other auctions as well.
CONDITION: C-7. Some oxidation to rails and to underside base from sitting in the warehouse all these years. MAY have been used but does not appear so to me. Tested and works. Box shows shelfwear and age. With all the extras you need to use including instructions.
