Greetings,

I have owned a post war Adriatic 2-6-4 locomotive for as long as I can remember.  There is a Baby Ruth boxcar with it and some newer freight that my grandpa purchased for me.  I typically get it out at Christmas.  I have also been on Ebay and I picked up a 2-6-2 Prairie locomotive 2026 and a few other post war freight cars.  I have some O27 track that is a bit beat up.  I would like to get better track but kind of at a loss which way to go.  I have my eyes on a few post war Berkshires and have read they do not run on the O27 track.  So I joined this forum to see what information I can pick up.

Thanks everyone.

Greetings, and welcome to the forum!

You could upgrade to '0' gauge track. It comes in various radii that will accommodate your locomotives. It is no longer made by Lionel, but this company specializes in sourcing used rail and refurbishing it.

The Lionel Fastrack system also comes in various radii that your trains will be happy on.

Whichever way you go, enjoy your trains!
