All the train shops are closed here on Mondays so will get everything else I need tomorrow. Once all the track is in place then I will make the new corner pieces...
I ended up taking down the 031 curves and corner pieces yesterday. I got the 054 in place and now Im trying to figure out what straight pieces of track I need now. The one gap on 2 of the sides was 25.5". For that I used a 10,5,3.5,3.5,3.5. Still need to get 2 more 3.5's to do the other side. On the other 2 sides I haven't been able to figure what pieces I need. The gap is 6" - 6.5" or if I remove the 30" section then I got 36" - 36.5". Every combination I come up with is either to short or just a little over. Any suggestions?
Personally, I would have used 2-10" and 1- 5.5". The chance of the connection getting bad is less with fewer connections!
Moonman hit the nail on the head!
I ended up using 2-10 & a 5.5 but once I got the track up I was able to make it a little longer at 27" instead of 25.5". Ended up getting the track about 1" from the edge all the way around. Hoping to get the new corner sections cut out by the weekend and then paint them over the weekend...
