MERKUR tubular track and LIONEL

Will Merkur track mate up with Lionel or K-line track.  Are the pin sizes the same?  Height the same?

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your question.

May I give you the link to a Lionell BlogSpot from the Netherlands. He is the guy who borrowed me his old Lionell locomotives.

I think this will clear your question.

And some other nice articles to read too!

Thanks for posting this, I will check it out.

Divide by 25.4 to go from millimeters to inches, and double to go from radius to diameter, when you get to that question in your mind.

The 900mm switch comes out to about 70.8" diameter. Not sure where measured. That could be "good enough" for tubular O72, especially if an engine does not derail or short.

I'm not getting the currency, I thought Czech Republic used the Euro, guess I am wrong. Or maybe its BitCoin

Well to be honest I am a MERKUR dealer and knowing the circumstances in CZ I think you will be pleased to deal with me. I do cooperate with people in the UK. I was able to convince Merkur to build the 072 point ( or switch) after my British partner had tried it for a very long time.

Transport from Holland to USA is cheaper, I am the one who is responsible for the service, no Dutch taxes for delivery outside the EEC ( means prices minus 21%) and  I do speak English ( at Merkur almost no one does).

There are several members of the EU that don't use the euro (British, for example). The Czech Republic still uses the Crown, although they occasionally toy with the idea of converting to the euro.

By the way the people in the UK just want the 900mm because on this one their old long Hornby and Lionel trains doesn't derail on them.... And now also to be delivered with servo motor.

That is right crowns are used in the Czech republic. But for people outside the Czech republic Merkur ask payment in Euros.
