For the record, the number of teeth in the ramps also provide some different
stats:

Curve: 223 on the inner rail side and 228 on the outer rail side
Ramps: 167 (both)
Long straight: 163
Start/Stop: 82
Short straight: 41

And just as a follow-up, because I know you were all on the edges of your seats
waiting for this:

Half Curve Right (part #2891) - 110 (inner), 115 (outer)
Half Curve Left (part #2892) - 113 (inner), 113 (outer)
Switch Right (part #2889):
  when straight - 10 + 60 + 93 = 163
  when curved - 10 + 59 + 43 = 112 (inner), 10 + 59 + 43 = 112 (outer)
Switch Left (part #2890):
  when straight - 10 + 60 + 93 = 163
  when curved - 10 + 59 + 40 = 109 (inner), 10 + 59 + 45 = 114 (outer)

(...) Alright, I just tried to measure using my scanner. I figured there would be very little optical distortion on the bed of the scanner, so it'll make a reasonably good straight-on image. Results: 32.7903 studs for the upper ramp 32.8166 studs (...) (14 years ago, 9-Oct-10, to lugnet.general)
