My parents want me to build a figure-8 layout with my McKinley Explorer set.  I currently have the tracks that come with the set, plus 24 additional 9-inch nickel silver straight tracks and a 90-degree crossing.  What additional tracks do I need to make the figure-8?

I typically order my trains from a dealer in the New York area.  They are located in New York City (specifically Brooklyn).  Base shipping charge is about $10 US for most orders, and additional shipping on larger orders should be estimated based on the size of your order and how far you live from their store.  I recently ordered a set and a bunch of extra track from them and the total shipping was around $15 US (the order came to $130 US).  And there's no sales tax if you live outside New York State.
