Atlas code 55 track question (length of the curves)

[Packers#1]

I was just wondering: How long are the different snap track curve pieces for Atlas code 55 track. I want to know because I planned my layout using snap track on atlas's oplanning software, but I'm going to build the layout with flex track. So I need to know how much flex track I'll need. All responses are appreciated, and thank you to those who do respond.

The full curve pieces are 6" long. There's also some shorter curve pieces, which are something like 3" long.

Thank you. That should help me out considerably.

The latest version of Atlas's software - RTS 8 - has a "convert to flex track" tool built in.  You design with the snap track, then convert to flex.  It should figure the number of pieces of flex needed.

Download it.  The software is free at the Atlas web site.
