To control two different model trains on the same track, you can use a digital command control (DCC) system, which allows multiple trains to be operated independently on the same track by assigning each train a unique address. Alternatively, if using traditional analog control, you can implement block sections on the track to isolate portions, enabling one train to operate in a block while the other waits. Proper signaling and coordination are crucial to prevent collisions and ensure smooth operation.
There are a wide variety of places where one can buy an extra track for LGB trains. Since it is a model train, the best place to buy extra tracks is at a model train store.
No. There are many different scales, or gauges, of model trains. For example, an N scale train would be too small to fit on HO scale track.
DCC stands for Direct Current Coupling, which is a technology used in model railway control systems for digitally controlling multiple trains on the same track.
Lionel Fast Track is designed specifically for Lionel trains, and its track system may not be compatible with Marx trains, which typically use a different track gauge and design. While some hobbyists have found ways to connect different brands, it's generally recommended to use the appropriate track for each train brand to ensure proper operation and avoid damage. Always check the specifications of both the track and the trains for compatibility.

No because they use different currents, track sizes, and power methods (2 and 3 rail).
Generally if they are of the same scale and the tracks fit each other they will work together.
The national Rail journey tracks different trains on all of the tracks in the United States such as the Burlington Northern Santa Fe or Amtrak trains.
