Well I have the pieces in my hand right now and 8 pieces of track fit perfectly
onto 4 32x32 (studs) baseplates end to end. My impression was that those
baseplates were 10" square. So the track pieces would be approx. 5" each. I
don't think a 1/32 is going to affect that dimension a whole lot. Also I guess
I wasn't including the interlocking tabs that stick out of each end. Well
anyhow, that's my 2cents.
