FastTrack's Grandfather?

I’ve always seen photos of Lionel’s OO Hudson but never really saw the track. Is it me or does this bear a strong resemblence to Fasttrack.? The U shaped rails and roadbed just glared out at me.

Veeeerrrry interesting!

Man,

Actually looks near identical. Maybe it might be more accepted now.

Uhhh, ohhh… I see a BIG lawsuit coming!

Oops, I forgot… Lionel can’t sue Lionel! [:D]

Actually, with the fragile looking electrical connectors and plastic tabs, it looks more like MTH track to me. So may Lionel could sue MTH? Joe

Another reason why Lionel rules!! (don’t get mad, I buy from all of them)

Thanks for sharing! That is really neat to know.

Go Lionel, Lionel!
