Bachmann Trains Snap-Fit E-Z TRACK WORLD’S GREATEST HOBBY TRACK PACK - Steel Alloy Rail With Black Roadbed - HO Scale , White Medium

Bachmann makes three completer sets. We were a bit confused which one to buy, so I did a spreadsheet comparing components. The Track Pack is the very best deal BY FAR - you get the most track for your money, hands down, and Amazon.com's price beat everything on ebay as well, so I liked avoiding the stress of bidding. We found the best bang for our buck by buying the 14-pc pier set separately, instead of as part of another completer set that had a train station (my kids don't pay that much attention to accessories, they are so into track, track, and more track!). With their original starter train set that they got for Christmas (just a circle track), the 14 pc pier set, and this track pack, they were able to build a 3-leaf clover set up with a bridge to go over and under, and an additional fourth "leg" of track going out to two separate bumpers where they park for the night. The switches included in the set are THE BEST and my two boys have so much fun switching their train from one track to another. I think switches and bridges made all the difference for my boys - the little circle was lame after about an hour! We spent $50 on their original Christmas set that came with the train, and the boys paid for the rest from their savings fun accounts: $80 (Track Pack including shipping) and $18 (14-pc Pier set, also from Amazon.com,including shipping), and I think the boys are going to content (not to mention a bit broke!) for a very long time!

perfect for somebody starting out. Easy to assemble pieces,

4.5 stars it’s great since I don’t have a layout yet so I can put it on a table or the floor the things that I don’t like is that it sometimes hard to connect

Got this for my son and I to expand his train set! Love it!

This is Bachmann's E-Z snap steel track. It is not as good as the more expensive nickle-silver track which is also available. It takes some care to get the joints between the track smooth. If you don't do this the train is very likely to derail. With the joints all smooth this track works quite well and it is a good value if you get it for the right price. The set comes with the following track: 9 9-inch straights, 1 9-inch terminal/rerailer, 1-9 inch rerailer, 20-18 inch radius curves, 2 right turn-outs, 2 left turnouts and two Hayes bumpers. The set also includes a magnet to put under the track to de-couple cars and plenty of wire to hook up your controller, which is not included. You can use the track to set up the "your first railroad" layout, but It is good to add to the track that comes with a trainset to let your train do more than just run around an oval. If you have long cars such as passenger cars you may not be able to run them around the curves in this set since you will probably need 22 inch radius curves.

This is one of the best in terms of cost and practicality. I use this track exclusively on my 8x4 HO scale freelance layout. My layout is designed to completely break down (we live in a rental) for easy moving. Also, I can re-arrange the layout at any time. I like to carefully remove the track from the bases and paint the bases with Rustoleum AA stone grey paint. This gives it a much more realistic ballast look. The only problem with removing the track is that you could damage the track in the process. The little plastic pieces that hold the rails in place tend to break. I find that some superglue and patience fixes this and it's barely noticeable. So do what I do at your own risk!

extra track is always nice. Works great

nice assortment

Good deal

Excelente calidad del producto y empacado. Cumplió las expectativas de la fotografía y descripción. Todavía no lo he probado en cuanto a funcionamiento... lo comento después.

A good selection to help me set up my track plan

This is super easy to put together and a very good quality product. I have run my Bachmann and non-Bachmann trains on it and zero problems. Switches work great. There should be more videos on youtube from Bachmann...
