Greetings! Does anyone know were I might be able to purchase some K-Line O27 extra long straight track (itme#256)? I have used this track and like it over the Lionel extra long track becasue it has evenly spaced ties. Thanks
Are you referring to Super-K track?
No, tubular steel. Following one of the other discussions I tried the Western Depot which looks like they have what I am looking for. If anyone knows of any other shops that carry this track let me know. Thanks
No longer made K-line 027 profile 072 curve at $4.40 per section. Oof$$$!!!
You have to look at the big picture - that’s only $70.40 for a full circle!

When a local dealer still had them he sold complete circles for $32.00. I bet “O” gauge 72" circle would be cheaper than that.
I don’t know of any place that still has the K-Line 36" straight (I assume that’s what you’re talking about) . I didn’t realize they had their ties evenly spaced instead of the way they’s look if 4 regular sections were used.
If more can’t be found, couldn’t the Lionel ones be made to match by moving the ties around a bit? All it takes is a screwdriver and a pair of pliers. I’d guess they come with the same amount of ties.
Hope this helps,

The Lionel has 12 irregularly spaced ties and is 35.5 inches long. The K-Line track has 15 ties spaced 2.5 inches OC and is a full 36 inches long. They also made an 18-inch piece with 6 ties spaced 3.4 inches OC.
