I used Slotman to get a layout I want to use, but the track descriptions don't match up to the Tomy/AFX part numbers/descriptions on the track or online.

Slotman lists the corners as #5, #4, #3 and #2 instead of 15" 1/8 radius, 12" 1/8 radius, 9" 1/4 or 1/8 radius and 6" 1/8 radius.

The straights are easy enough to figure out since they're in centimeters and I can match that up.

Any ideas? We don't have any shops here in Dallas other than Hobbytown or Hobby Lobby/Michael's so getting any help there isn't going to happen. I have the Super International set and need to figure this out so I can order the additional track I need for our layout.

I figured if anyone can answer my question it's the wise elders of the Hobbytalk forum.

Ron, best I can tell is 1 through 5 are all the 1/8 pieces going from small to large.

1 = 6"
2 = 9"
3 = 12"
4 = 15"
5 = 18"

Hope this helps.

I believe 1 is actually a 3" radius (hairpin) then 6", 9", 12" & 15"

I used Adobe Illustrator along with ideas from hoslotcarracing. If you have access to Illustrator or a cad program you can create and configure your track. If you can send me your idea I can see if I can put it together for you as well.
