[quote user="tangerine-jack"] A simple rule of thumb that I use is that each section of track is 12" long, so simply figure out how many whole feet long the curve or straightaway will be then that is the number of sections of track you need.  [/quote]Are you saying that if the curve is 14' wide, one side to the other, I would need 14 sections of 12" curved track?  I not sure I understand your method.  Don't you have to know the radius of the curve before buying the track for it?  The reason I ask is I've seen ad's for used track that state 12 pieces curved track to make a 4' circle.  This makes me think the track (curve pieces) is specific for the space it has to connect.  Am I making any sense?Maybe that is where the code for curved track comes in to play.  R1 to R4 for example.  What does that tell me?  Is there a code to know when purchasing curved track?   Wow, do I have a lot to learn!PS:  Looks like Santa is going to be good to me after all.  Have my first train on order.  Bachmann's 4-6-0 Big Hauler ET & WNC passenger.  Can't wait for it to get here!!!!!!!!!!!!!
