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)

Wow!

Thanks!

I was going to dig out mine and count, but... y'know... my old eyes and such...
not as good as they used to be....

Anyway, I do appreciate that you did this
