Stack and box 9Ft and 11.5 Diamiter track in the same big box then try to due an inventory When you Know you only have 25 sections of 9' and 19-sections of 11.5' . I findly took a new section of 9' marked it then seperated both size's, reboxed the 9ft and put it away..
Note to self 11.5dia is shorter -1 inch. cut in 22.5 deg. sections, 9 ft Dia is 30 deg.sect. 10ft is way longer then above and is in 30deg. sections.
THE DNRR IS ON THE WAY (ver 9.0 ) 100ft of track in-place, blocks half-wired. Picture's (Vidio ) when the first train run's. By my 64th, 17 Nov.

Dave thanks for the post. I thought I used some 9' dia Aristo sometime ago and am now doing some right of way improvements in that area. Found I have a part box of 11.5' dia. Aristo but the pieces are shorter than 10' dia Aristo. Could I have bought 11.5' dia rather than 9'? I should mark the sections as I use them in additon to removing the hex head screws from under the ties.
Have fun, Rob
Rob, The screws under the ties help keep the track alined, and are very good point to add feeder wires. I am adding 20ga feeders every 10ft or so. Iam also using the hex-head screws on the track connectors, a lesson learned last year that eliminates hot spots and dead zones. as far as pictures go as soon as can get them uploaded I will post ( need to get a new account since I changed ISP's ). Last week was spent cleaning up the garrage in Reno Plus getting the Holloween stuff for my Wife (pick-up load ) and some engins to use. The 11.5 Fit nice on the out side of the 10ft about 9inchs center to center spacing.
The above show's 9' 10' and 11.5 evenly spaced hope that help's
