Toy vehicular drive apparatus

A toy vehicular drive apparatus comprising:

• a first electrically conductive roadway;
• a second electrically conductive roadway under said first roadway;
• a powered subsurface vehicle movable on said second roadway, said subsurface powered vehicle being in electrical communication with said first roadway and with said second roadway;
• means for powering said powered subsurface vehicle by electrically energizing said first roadway and said second roadway;
• a surface vehicle movable on said first roadway;
• and
• means for interconnecting said powered subsurface vehicle and said surface vehicle to cause movement of said surface vehicle in response to movement of said powered subsurface vehicle.

A toy vehicular drive apparatus comprising:

• a first roadway having an electrically conductive underside;
• a second roadway having an electrically conductive top and being under said first roadway;
• a powered subsurface vehicle movable on said second roadway, said subsurface powered vehicle having electrically conductive elements in contact with said electrically conductive underside of said first roadway and in contact with said electrically conductive top of said second roadway;
• means for powering said powered subsurface vehicle by electrically energizing said first roadway and said second roadway;
• a surface vehicle movable on said first roadway;
• and
• means for interconnecting said powered subsurface vehicle to cause movement of said surface vehicle in response to movement of said powered subsurface vehicle.

In a toy vehicular drive apparatus having a first electrically conductive roadway, a second electrically conductive roadway under the first electrically conductive roadway, a power source for electrically energizing the first roadway and the second roadway, and a surface vehicle movable on the first roadway, a powered subsurface vehicle comprising:

• a chassis having a power source and being movable on the second electrically conductive roadway;
• means for electrically interconnecting said power source to the first electrically conductive roadway and the second electrically conductive roadway to move said powered subsurface vehicle;
• and
• means for interconnecting said powered subsurface vehicle and the surface vehicle to cause movement of the surface vehicle in response to movement of said powered subsurface vehicle.
