Lionel Fastrack Reversing Loop w/048 Switch

I would think you would have to use the same switch as the curves you plan to use in the reversing loop.   Not 100% sure because its someone I just began to look at myself.

FWIW, I had this as a test track/carpet central last year...

Cool.  Looks like it works with different radius stuff!

Thanks - are those 048 switches? I will try that. Are there any filled pieces used or all full size track?

You bet.  All four O-48 switches.

Sean, all pieces are regular old, off-the-shelf, FasTrack.

Thanks very much!

FYI- The pieces on the middle of the O36 curves are 1 3/4" (6-12026).  I built this as a newb last year when I first got started in O so there's no way I was going to be customizing pieces.  I still haven't!

Thanks - I picked up the 048 remote very cheap and I wanted to make sure that it would work. Plus the closest hobby shop is an hour away so I like to know what I will need to complete the loop.

I would suggest downloading "AnyRail" to your PC or laptop. The trial version let's you build track plans up to 50 pieces I believe. You can test out your ideas before you put down money for more FasTrack.
