Maerklin's description of 24720 states that short 24071 pieces are needed at each end. Does anyone know why the 24071 pieces are needed at the ends of 24720? Can other "straight" sections be used instead of 24071? Thanks for your help. Best regards, Reno

Even your drawing shows how the edges of the rails overlap so as to make the configuration physically infeasible.

These are removed to connect to the 24720, which comes with a filler V piece to replace the road beds on the 24071. No other straight piece has the removable road beds and won’t be able to make the connection to the 24720 Adrian
