Can I use my vintage (late 1950's) locomotive with this set? It is also O gauge.

Yes you can. Track has been updated in design over the years but same guage. I wouldnt mix my old track with the newer track but I would certainly run my old locamotives.

Yes it should work fine. As you stated its O gauge so there won't be any issues. This is a great starter set.

As the scale of the trolley car is O gauge even though the trolley fits on HO gauge track (roughly the scale equivalent of 3 feet beteen the center of the rails) It should look perfect. It looks great with mine.

This set works with any of the Trackmaster series of engines (which is the ones that I believe you are referring to).

I do not have any of those tracks, so I can't tell you for sure if they do or not. I do have a Thomas the Tank Engine set and an old Brio set.

O gauge not O 27. As I understand, this difference is not too significant. It is explained at Lionel if you Google it.

Absolutely, several of the reviews talk about this. My son uses his old trains all the time.

I used it with HO scale. Although I had both O and G scale trains at the time. I only used it with my HO layout. Jerry

I got my set because I have a guitar that is old and had a lot of dry wood. I say just make sure that you all the parts you can use it for. A couple of the products aren't supposed to go on a certain type of wood.

If its Mth or a set from Sears it might work, check the voltage to be safe, should work on any O, O27 or even G.. But not on HO, N, or Z scales

Yes, you can mix different freight cars. I have some older Tyco cars that work perfectly. Even different locomotives can be used; I have since moved up in my model railroading tastes and now use higher-quality locomotives from Walthers TrainLine and Proto 1000 (along with a Mantua loco.) They run smoother than the included locomotive, and is worth considering when you are upgrading/expanding this set.A worth of note: this set uses the old-style "horn-hook" couplers. Life-Like is the only company that makes train sets with those couplers; all the others upgraded to knuckle couplers. You may want to eventually replace the "horn-hook" couplers with newer knuckle ones: Kadee makes some great couplers. Yes, you can mix different freight cars.

It depends on the size. If its .027 scale the new speed tracks will work. Hope this helps.

I wish I had a sefinite answer for you but we bought the "Harry Potter" O train. However we purchased these tracks for adding to the set and they worked perfectly. So I feel confidient that these will work for O trains. Good luck. We are in the process of putting together a set for our granddaughter who is 5.

Yes, it will work just fine with the original O-gauge Polar Express set. Press the whistle button on your transformer to hear Tom Hanks say, "All aboard! This is the Polar Express."

It will depend, if the issue are the motors yes, almost all my gauges werent working and I just swapped the motors and they are good as new. How ahead and change all the motors since they will stop working one by one.

I'll try to help out if I can - I'm not sure about the numbers 380 and 384. Are these stamped on the track pieces themselves, or on the box perhaps? I will look to let you know. All I know is that the 9 pc set I have fit with my train set purchased in 2000.

ON30 is the same guage as HO, only the scale of the trains themselves are different, being in O Scale. This will work fine with the ON30 trains

Yes you can. The set comes with 2 straight pieces of track (one is where the power supply attaches) and 8 curved sections. You can easily add additional "Lionel Fast Track" track sections (straight or curved) and train cars to the set. The remote Thomas engine is a surprisingly strong puller, and can easily handle an additional 3 - 6 cars (often advertised as Thomas O gauge expansion packs). Enjoy!
