I have the numbers for 18 and 22 inch radius track.

Does someone know the number of sections of 26 inch radius curved track required to build an oval?  I would hate to order and find out I'm short.
The gray roadbed if that make any difference.

Twenty-six inch radius comes in 18o sections.  An oval requires 360o of curvature.  So you would need 360 / 18 = 20 pieces.

Growing older is mandatory but growing up is optional.

Thanks Jim.

I finally found the information in the Bachmann on line catalog.

That's usually the last place I expect to find any thing regarding

specifications.   :D
