- 1 - ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to toy vehicle track sections a number of which can be joined end to end to complete a vehicle track. The section includes at least one path for a vehicle with at least two electrically-conducting strips from which the vehicle obtains its electrical power. The strips extend from end to end of the section and are parallel with one another. Each end of each electrical strip is housed in an individual tapered recesses and the strip does not extend beyond the recesses. Each recess tapers width-wise in a direction away from the end of the section and includes an abutment wall adjacent the end of the electrically-conducting strip and a cam wall inclined to the longitudinal direction and arranged to engage a corresponding cam wall on an adjacent section when two sections are brought together so as to wedge the ends of the strips contained within those recesses into side by side engagement between a pair of abutment walls. At each end of the section, there are snap-fitting retaining means - 1A - to maintain the sections joined and these means include an open-ended mouth having a restricted opening and a lug capable of entering the mouth and being held therein by the resilience of the mouth and/or lug. The direction in which the lug enters and leaves the mouth is generally parallel to the cam surfaces. In such a toy track section the recesses house the ends of the electrically-conducting strips and so protect them from damage and sharp edges are also avoided. Further, the wedging between two adjacent abutment walls when two sections are joined, brings the metal strips into good electrical contact and provides good electrical continuity to a vehicle passing over the join.
