K-Line shadow rail track

Hello everyone,

I was just wondering what some opinions are of K-Line’s shadow rail track, and if it will work ok with my Lionel CW80 transformer. I recently put a K-Line engien on layaway and may be interested in some of the track as well. Thanks in advance,

PJ

I used Shadowrail extensively on a former layout. It’s basically tubular track with extra ties and a blackened center rail. I thought it worked well and I would not hesitate to use it again. I had no problems with conductivity or sparking with the center rail. It should work fine with your CW80.

I have had good luck with K-line snap track as well.

Thank you for the info, guys. I think I will try it out.

One thing to consider is that the availibility of K-line track is probably the track currently on hand. Other than switches Lionel doesn’t catalogue any K-line track.
