“You get plenty of curved rails when you buy sets for beginners (4512,4511,4564, etc.). When you have got some sets for beginners, you don't really need them as much as straight rails. But you need quite many of them in combination with cross tracks. So when you buy cross... More tracks and you don't have many sets for beginners, you might need them.”

“The 4520 Curved rails, is much like the 4.5 train rails, and 12 volt conductor rails in one piece. Instead of the tedious task of always destroying all the tracks, and starting from square one you can just snap together the tracks with no problem. In major train sets, where... More it includes a whole track full of rails the majority of the set is are curved rails. This set includes 8 straight rails to extend the length of your custom Lego train track.”

About Trains 9V

LEGO Trains is one of the longer running themes that dates back from 1966 and ran up until 2006. During its run there were multiple sets released running on various power platforms from 4.5volt, to 9 and 12 volt sets. Later in 2011 LEGO released additional train sets using RC and Power Functions controllers under different themes like City.

9V consists of 67 sets that ran from 1991 to 2006. As of today, 4558 Metroliner is the most valuable 9V set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $1,381.
Summary
Trains 9V Curved Rails set 4520 was released in September 1991, retailing for $13, but has since been retired. New, unopened Curved Rails sets are valued at $22, while used sets can be found for $5.
