ABSTRACT:
A plurality of track sections in which each track section has end portions for interlocking with end portions of adjoining track sections to form an endless track for a toy train. Each end portion has longitudinally extending and laterally spaced apart projections and recesses extending into and receiving complementary recesses and projections respectively of a complementary end portion in an adjoining track section. The interacting projections and recesses automatically align the end portions laterally and horizontally, and prevent twisting of the track sections when interlocked or joined together. Each end portion further has a longitudinally extending flexible finger having a laterally extending rib on the end thereof which cooperates with a complementary longitudinally extending flexible finger and rib on an adjoining track section. Accordingly, when the end portions are pushed together, the ribs flex the fingers apart and then interlock under the pressure of the flexed fingers for releasably latching the track sections together.
