Using simple O gauge track, have never done this , What is the O__,
on the radius for coming off a wall, and making the 90 degree turn,
down the other wall ( curve sections) and how many sections is needed to
make that turn, the walls are square, -- checked that during building process.
thanks

Makes no difference what the radius is. Tighter radius - closer to wall, bigger radius further from wall. It will take 1/4 the number of curved track that it takes to make full circle (90/360). If 12 make circle, it takes three to make a 90 degree turn.

For conventional 3-rail track:
O27 and O31 curves use 2 pieces for a 90-degree bend, 8 pieces for a full circle.
O42 uses 3 pieces for a 90-degree bend, 12 pieces for a full circle.
O54 and O72 curves use 4 pieces for a 90-degree bend, 16 pieces for a full circle.
I am supposing that your "simple O gauge track" is conventional old-style 3-rail. If it is something else, give us a better description.
Got both sides of the story, Yes , old still o gauge, both answers welcomed,
be going to Fletcher, so I 'd say this will be one time I save on shipping
thanks
