Model train track comes in sections (called sectional track) for convenience and ease of use. You can purchase model train track in different lengths and shapes, straight and curved. Some model train track snaps together, and some model train track is made on plastic roadbed sections.

Sectional track is what most model railroaders start with simply because the sectional track is easy to use and it’s what usually comes with the model train sets.
