How many sections? Enough to put half or a quarter circle together? That'll give you the radius, presuming they're all the same. Beyond that, what might you be looking for?

Later,

Kevin is right, the only sure way to know the curve diameter of track is to lay it down and measure it. If it is Aristocraft track there is no indication on the track about the diameter of the curves. LGB track does have a code on it, like R3, R4, and so on, and some people know what this means. I use Aristocraft track and do not know what that means.
