While the Lionel track does have the advantage for odd sized pieces, the SHS/MTH track isn't that hard to modify for custom lengths. Even I managed to do it...
The old SHS catalog online at Wayback Machine has the procedure. You have to scroll down to Tips and Tricks on the left side for the link for "Making Custom Lengths of Track."
