LEGO City Switch Tracks 60238: Expand Your Train Layout with Curved and Switch Tracks (8 Pieces)
Need more track for your LEGO City train? The LEGO City Switch Tracks 60238 set gives you extra curved and switch tracks to extend your railway and create new routes. It includes 4 curved tracks, a right-facing switch track, and a left-facing switch track — 6 track pieces in total (the set contains 8 pieces including small elements). This pack lets you branch your train line, add distance, or create a passing loop. Designed for ages 5 and up, it works with any standard LEGO train set and most other LEGO building sets.
What’s in the Box
- 4 curved track pieces to extend the route or form corners
- 1 right-facing switch track for branching to the right
- 1 left-facing switch track for branching to the left
- Total of 8 pieces in the set (includes small connector parts, instructions)
How to Use These Tracks
Simply click the tracks onto your existing LEGO train rails. The switch tracks have a lever that you flip to change the direction the train takes. Use the curved tracks to make your layout bigger or weave through obstacles. Combine multiple sets to build a complex network with sidings, crossovers, or a storage yard.

Common Questions About This Track Expansion
Can I use these tracks with older LEGO train sets?
Yes. LEGO City Switch Tracks use the same standard track gauge as all modern LEGO train sets. They connect directly to tracks from sets produced in the last decade. If you have a very old 9V or 12V set, the plastic track shape is the same, so they will fit mechanically.
Do I need to buy a motor or battery box?
No. This set only contains track pieces. You need a train set with a motorized locomotive (sold separately) to run trains on this track.
How many switch tracks can I connect together?
You can connect any number as long as you have enough straight or curved track to space them out. Each switch track requires a straight or curved piece on either side. There is no limit — keep expanding!
What’s the difference between a right and left switch track?
A right-facing switch sends the train to the right when activated. A left-facing switch sends it left. Use both to create a Y-shaped junction or a crossover between parallel lines.
Whether you want to build a longer main line or a busy rail yard, the LEGO City Switch Tracks 60238 set is a simple way to grow your train layout. Add a few packs to give your LEGO trains more room to run and more decisions for young engineers to make.
