So I have my grandfather's 45 year old train set down. I have a big figure 8 set up around telling xmas tree and "present mountain." I am using some straight pieces so it isn't a curved 8 like normal sets to get around the tree. Track doesn't line up. I noticed in sets they have half track pieces. I have tons of spare track and can cut some but I need to know the length of their half pieces and possibly how many. The cross part isn't as long as the normal track. It's maybe 12 ft by 8 ft anD I can double that size, so it may get set up in terms sunroof year round and pull out my old smaller scale set for xmas. So diagrams and track sizes may help. All track and trait's are older than I am. I have one engine that is 45 years old. Alco model 8252 from 1972. Lol. My grandpa loved his trains, so did I, I used them a lot. Thanks in advance. And yes I'm a noob here. I haven't used the set since I was 10 maybe. Power box is getting rebuilt today.
