ABSTRACT:
A toy transport set is disclosed which includes a toy truck having a cab and a trailer for carrying one or more toy vehicles, such as toy cars. The trailer is convertible from a transport configuration in which the trailer is releasably coupled to the cab, into a bridge configuration wherein the trailer forms a bridge having a relatively smoothly curving upper surface over which toy vehicles can move and under which toy vehicles may pass. The trailer has a main body portion with a substantially semi-circular upper exterior surface and a substantially flat bottom surface, and two end portions which are pivotally connected adjacent respective ends of the main portion. The end portions each have a surface having a concave contour matching a portion of the upper surface of the main body portion such that the end portions can be placed in facial engagement with the upper exterior surface of the main body portion. The end portions are otherwise squared off to define a trailer which is substantially rectangular in the transport configuration. The end portions can be pivoted outwardly from the main body portion into a bridge configuration converting the transport trailer into a bridge over which toy vehicles can move and pass under. The uncoupled cab also serves as a tow truck for a toy vehicle.
