ABSTRACT:
A motorized toy is described which consists of self-propelled toy vehicles, station sections which can be incorporated along the course of a track for the vehicle and toy objects with movable parts which can be coupled with the station sections. Each toy vehicle can be operated both in a forwards and a backwards travel direction and can be stopped in both travel directions in a defined position in order to drive the toy object at a station section. Alternative hand-operated drive means may be provided at the station sections, and the track of the station section includes a start member having a transverse slot relative to the track section, the start member being able to adopt two positions relative to the track. A stop pin on the vehicle in one position of the start member is capable of latching into the slot thereof, latching being prevented in the other position. The co-ordination of pin and driven wheels of the vehicle on the one hand, and slot and driving apparatus for the toy object on the other hand, corresponds to the defined position. Pins, for reversing the vehicle can be provided at least between forwards and backwards travel directions and are operable by devices in the station section. It is also possible to render the vehicle inoperative. Toy objects in manifold embodiments, such as merry-go-rounds, children's playground, filling station, toy clock, emergency call stand, gymnastic apparatus, etc., can be connected with the station section. Traffic signals and such like arrangements can also be used as toy objects, thereby achieving educational effects. Sounding means are disclosed.
