I am having a problem with a MTH 2 Stall Engine Shed I bought. It says that it is compatible with all O Gauge track. I use Lionel Fastrack and cannot get it to fit. The spacing of my Lionel track is wider than what the Shed allows. Has anyone had this problem and how did you fix it?

If you have a table saw or band saw you can cut the sides a little on each side i had to do this to get it in a MTH bridge .
The website says all except Fastrrack\\
Is there a newer model out?

I bought this from a guy. It actually says it is a car repair shop. I can try to figure something out.
The earlier MTH bridges had stoppers/spacers that were bolted in for Realtrax alignment. The spacers could be removed to fit Fastrack.

I had a guy make a suggestion on YouTube about changing the O36 turnout to a wye. This seems to have worked, though I still need to trim some of the track bed away.
The track space worked okay with Gargraves Flextrack.
I never liked its looks as an "Enginehouse", with the almost flat roof. So, I raised the roof a couple of inches with studs and slightly pitched rafters for a clerestory effect and installed corrugated siding and windows. Added a pair of rectangular "doghouses"with louvered sides on top of the raised roof. Added four tall vent stacks and applied roll roofing[masking tape] painted flat black but otherwise haven't finished it.
Pretty crude by comparison to Scenery Thread but works better than original for me.
I got some "Fastrack to O" transition pieces & just ran regular O tubular through the shed.
