This is actually a very good thing when things from the hi-rail world
come very close to the scale world. Just maybe the old nearly forgotten
slogan of being United might actually start to apply.
Maybe now we can gradually get rid of all that really over sized rail
like 172, Gargraves, original AF, K Line, etc.
It would be interesting to see how many of the typical AF operators have
switched to SHS track in the past or with the Lionel offerings will
change in the near future. However, I know that Peter and Bill are
cringing already, but I just find it interesting from a junior high
kid's perspective who went through that a long time ago.

Lionel's S FasTrack IS compatible with SHS(now MTH) S-Trax with a

combination to hold them together or devise a clamp of some sort.

The rail is virtually identical and rail joiners mate fine. Overall
looks between the two, however...
Scale wheels should work fine on FasTrack, turnouts haven't been
released yet so's there's no way of knowing
