Wow, you have some straights?! I have six corners, and no straights. This was pretty rare track, I don't think they made it very long (time-wise). I think there was a terminal straight piece, but good luck finding one now. I think I bought mine up at English's Hobby shop in PA some years ago.

Well, speaking of Tyco Trolley systems...here's one on Ebay, with the track, showing one straight with wiring on it. But not the underside. Complete, but starting price is pricey. Good documentative look, though. :) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tyco-HO-Old-Strap-Hanger-Electric-Street-Car-Set-Coney-Island-Trolley-Trailer-/281673319226?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item419509c33a

Here's another Tyco Strap Hanger set, was on ebay, some good pictures of the complete set still up. Save them while you can!
Here's the link : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tyco-Old-Strap-Hanger-Electric-Street-Car-Set-in-Box-HO-Scale-Train-Layout-/331553185953?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=KOsM2y05FwVI%252B4%252FGtPJAgeuwRNA%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
