Congratulations Matthias!
I'm not too sure about, but as far as I know nearly all train sets of the 60ies
and 70ies [**] came with a circle out of 16 curved sections and two straight
lines
of each 2 straight sections. (In total an oval of the lenght of 16+4 = 20
sections).
But please be careful:
Sets 150 and 151 came with 28 bricks. That have been 10 ties (or sleepers) and
2x9 rails. So in total sets 150 and 151 contained 9 sections of track (which
makes no sense for the curved track!).

Later the sets got new numbers (156 + 157) and had the amount of track in it,
which is same untill today - 8 sections of track.

So be careful with rail-counting. You might get into this trap easiely...
