Hi all,

If I get some 54" Curves how many do I need for a circle, would it be 12 pieces with 6 on each side.

Where can you buy this? Anyone know any online retailers that have it in stock?

I'm not completely sure it is out yet, Martin. If it is, Charles Ro in Massachusetts will have it.

Are we talking about this product?

6-49827 | Price: $3.99

(12 pieces per 54" diameter circle)

Or the newer stuff with the roadbed? I was hoping to find the tubular track in 54" diameter

Be aware that the 54 inch track that was made by K-Line is gauged slightly narrower than good old USA-made Gilbert track. The trains will run on it just fine, but where there is a transition from Gilbert track to K-Line, the flanges on the wheels will bump sideways. You could take a Dremel to the K-Line at the intersection of the K-Line and Gilbert track to smooth out the transition.
