I have a few of those non-slotted grey track pieces, they came with
<set:4555>
I'm 100% sure those came with that set, they don't match the building

really evidence, TLC doesn't redo the instructions every different
production run). I have bought two of those sets in last february and they
both had 'unslotted' track.
The pieces are exactly the same like the straight track from the blue era I
