Track systems for model railroads

In a track system for guiding a toy travelling along a path defined by a plurality of interconnected track carrying sections, the improvement comprising:

• each of said sections carrying locking means for removably connecting a plurality of said sections together,
• said locking means oriented such that cooperating locking means on adjacent sections connected to each other removably engage in a direction oriented at an angle relative to the longitudinal direction of at least one of said adjacent sections,
• wherein said locking means on said plurality of adjacent sections are oriented to removably engage at at least two different locking positions which are not oriented along the same linear axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of said at least one of said sections such that said at least two different locking positions are laterally offset relative to each other in the longitudinal direction of said at least one of said adjacent sections.

In a track system for guiding a toy travelling along a path defined by a plurality of interconnected sections, the improvement comprising:

• each of said sections carrying locking means for removably connecting a plurality of sections together,
• said locking means on said sections being relatively oriented such that adjacent ends of adjacent sections are engaged at at least two separate locking positions, said two separate locking positions not oriented along a linear axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of at least one of said adjacent sections such that said at least two separate locking positions are offset relative to each other in the longitudinal direction of said at least one of said adjacent sections.
