LGB Track is measured in millimeters, for instance 1600mm radius. There are 25.4 mm per inch, therefore 1600/25.4 = 63" radius, or 126" diameter, or 10' 3" diameter.
Hope that helps!

Blueregal:
The above statement about LGB track is incorrect. The LGB designations (110xx, 150xx, 160xx & 180xx) are part numbers and have nothing to do with the dimensions, either metric or inch.
Per the old LGB website, LGB track designations, part numbers, and radii are:
R1, Part Number 110xx is 600mm=23.6"
R2, Part Number 150xx is 780mm=30.7"
R3, Part Number 160xx is 1175mm=46.3"
R5, Part Number 180xx is 2320mm=91.3"
These are radii, measured from a center point to the centerline of the track: Double them to get the diameter.
Hope this helps.
Happy RRing,
