Assembling RealTrax™
Unlike other O Gauge track systems, each RealTrax section features a realistic
built-in roadbed base, solid nickel-silver track rails, and realistic railroad ties, all
designed to give you an authentic looking track system. The quick connectors
and built-in roadbed allow you to set up RealTrax anywhere, including most
carpeted surfaces, without the need for track nails or the worry of carpet stains.
Each RealTrax segment has at least one knock-out tab in the roadbed (on either
end of the segment) that can be removed with a pair of pliers to reveal an
opening for the lock-on that is used to connect the transformer to the track. To
assemble RealTrax, follow the instructions below.
