Fastrack for Automatic Milk car

Yep.  Removable roadbed on the sides.

Use this track here. I believe you must notch out part of the plastic roadbed for the platform to fit.

KoolJock1  - Can I buy the track with removable roadbedDo you know the Lionel number?

And, does it come with the operating rails?

Lionel 6-12054 is the part number with the removable roadbed.  Search lionel for the instructions and it will show it in the picture.

Thks Alexcue2.

I saw the operating track but did not see that the roadbed was removable.

You must CUT it. When a person highlights a word in a response, click on it and it will show you answers to some of your questions. 

Larry do you have the milk platform that fits fastrack if you do NO need to remove the sides of the operating track. If not you can get a platform itself from MTH part #30-9063

Alex is right.  The fastrack operating track has a removable roadbed on one side of the track and a beveled roadbed on the other side.   You remove the roadbed from one side and that side goes on the side furthers away from the platform.  The beveled side slips under the platform.   Perfect fit.

Larry,

The old platforms did need to have the new lionel activation track section sides tweeked to fit like mine is...the newer platforms- I don't know about those as I haven't seen the difference thru pics, but I heard there was supposed to be a difference.{?}

Larry, if you look closely at the pic in the link that Don posted for you, you'll see a rather sharp edge just past the ties- that outside slope is removable on both sides. You will have to cut out for the platform to nestle into the track and reapply the new short sides when done...and theres some tweeking to do for the platform tab to fit inside of the removable other side, but that's minor.   

Thanks guys for the replies.  You have all been a great help.
