Thank you very much for the info. I'm disappointed it won't work, but better to find out now.

Hi-

I have zero experience with model railroading, but recently decided I wanted to add a train to my Christmas village.  The Rail Chief set is my top choice right now because it reminds me of the BNSF trains that run here in Washington. It is also a good price point for me, as I do not need anything fancy for what I am doing.

The track that comes with the set is 47"x38" which will not work for the space I am putting it in.  I have no problem purchasing additional track pieces, but I am beyond confused as to which ones I would need. The length is pretty obvious to me, but I am unsure on which radius pieces I would need for the ends.

The space I will be working with is 26"x5ft long. If it is a little bit narrower or longer (I technically have 8ft to work with), that is fine with me.  I am not too picky. Can anyone tell me which track pieces I will need?

I'm very serious about doing this as soon as I can. We are very into the holidays, so I would love to get it setup!

Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thank You in advance for your time.
