Chris, You were right the first time. The K-line 54-inch diameter track is 6 sections to a semi-circle. Each piece is longer than the Flyer curved track.
Also, you said that the pins were the same size as Flyer pins. Hopefully newer K-line track pins are the same size as Flyer track pins, but the K-line curved track I have has wider pins. I agree that the wide radius track is good. I find that the trains run better. You can pull a longer train with wide radius that with tight radius. Has anyone used the Gargraves sectional track with plastic ties? It comes in 42, 54, 63 and 72 inch radii. If I were building a hi-rail layout, I would look at the wider radii they have--at least for places where there is room. Everything looks and works so much better on wide radius track that you kind of get attached to it. That said, the SHS and AM track systems are both excellent. Both work with flyer wheels. SHS track is a little closer to scale to tempt the high railers. It is too bad they have to compete. It is remarkable how many choices we have. Am I the only person who bought some of the AC value track before it disappeared?

I said 6 sections for a semi-circle. This is true for original Flyer. The 54" diameter uses 8 sections, 16 in a circle.
