Curved Track

I am a novice at this so I hope this makes sense.

I just purchased some curved HO track and realized that they were shorter than the pieces that I have.  It turns out the pieces I bought are 22" radius curved track.  So I put together my other curved pieces and measured across the middle.  I measured from outside to outside and I came up with 38".  So I assume I have 19" radius curved track.

Is this the correct way to measure track?  Is there such a thing as 19" radius curved track or is there only 18" and 22" radius?

I'm assuming you have Bachmann E-Z Track.  Try measuring from center point to center point.    You should get 18".  AFAIK, the only way to get an odd numbered radius is to use flex track.

Bachmann sells 15", 33.25", and 35.5" radius EZ-track.

Thanks, that answers my question.  Is there anything I need to do to mark this question as answered or completed?

Nope. This isn't like Yahoo! answers.  ;D
