Abstract
A toy vehicle track section for use with similar track sections to form an interconnected track for a toy vehicle includes a base formed of electrically non-conductive material having opposite ends with at least one of the ends having a plurality of generally wedge shaped projections extending longitudinally therefrom. The other of the track ends has a plurality of generally complementary wedge shaped recesses for receiving the projections of an adjacent track section. The recesses and projections have cooperating means formed thereon for resisting longitudinal engagement of the projections from the recesses of an adjacent track section and the base includes longitudinally extending conductive strips associated with opposed projections and recesses to provide a complete electrical circuit about the track in its assembled form.
