Hello all
I have kinda a single short but tight spot I have to get a run through and all of my other track is RealTrax which basically at its base is about 3.5 in wide.
So was thinking for this one quick area, I might use the adapters MTH makes and go with ScaleTrax, but I don't know how wide that track is so I was hoping someone could let me know.
Thanks for any help.

The length of the ties is 2-1/8" [width of track].
Wow, thanks for the quick reply ToddMc
BUT the width of the track does NOT matter as much as the width of the trains! Most O-Gauge measure 2 1/2 to 2 3/4-inches wide not taking in account any "in-hang" on curves. Plus any side to side movement of cars on the track.
This makes the 3 1/2-inch width of the roadbed on RealTrak and Fastrac ideal spacing for needed clearances.
Yeah was going to look into the width of the trains next, but just figured was not worth looking at that if the track was not able to fit.
Most of my stuff is O-27 so might work out, but yeah have to check.
Really, rats ):-(
Thought that adapter was to ScaleTrax
Well leave it up to the train hobby to disappoint with its lack of logical capabilities again.
Guess I just have to scrap the whole idea.
Thanks any way guys
Don't have the time
