How many pieces of track does it take to make a 180 turn?

Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, April 9, 2005 5:55 PM

I am getting ready to buy some track and I was wondering how many pieces of track it would take to make half of a circle?

The track I want to buy is Bachmann EZ track with gray roadbed. I want to have 26" radius.
