A track for a toy vehicle includes several track units. Each track unit has an upper layer and a spaced apart lower layer. Each of the adjacent units comprises two sections. A first section has an upper side for supporting the toy vehicle and a bottom side. A second section has an upper layer having a top side for supporting the toy vehicle and a lower base. The first section has a first connector, and the second section has a mating second connector. The first and second connectors are connectable so that first and second sections are connectable in an adjacent unit to form an adjacency relationship. Each unit includes a first section and two second sections. Two second sections are located at opposite longitudinal ends of the first section. The first section is bendable in a longitudinal sense substantially parallel to a plane on which a track is directed from one end to the other end in a track running direction. The second section is bendable in a transverse sense substantially transverse to a plane on which a track is directed from one end to the other end in a track running direction.

A model car with a coil arrangement having at least one substrate and at least one first coil portion and a second coil portion, wherein the substrate, which is manufactured from an electrical insulating material, has a basic shape extending in a planar manner and having an upper side and an underside opposite the upper side, wherein at least the first coil portion and the second coil portion form a coil winding, wherein the first coil portion is arranged on the upper side of the substrate and the second coil portion is arranged on the underside of the substrate.

A toy vehicle track set is provided. The toy vehicle track set comprises a plurality of track segments. Each track segment of the plurality of track segments has a coupling portion and a plurality of lanes for toy vehicles to race along. The plurality of track segments may be collectively positioned in a racing configuration or a transport configuration. The track segments are coupled together to form a multi-lane raceway in the racing configuration. One or more track segments of the plurality of track segments are positioned to form a rectilinear transport structure in the transport configuration.

A toy vehicle track set according to present invention includes a first track portion, a second track portion, a base to which the first and second track portions are coupled, and a carriage. At least one of the first track portion and the second track portion is repositionable about the base with respect to the other track portion and the carriage is movably coupled to the base. The carriage is positionable proximate to the first track portion, the second track portion, or both the first and second track portions.

The track further includes a bracket having a first bracket portion, a second bracket portion, a third bracket portion, and a fourth bracket portion, the first bracket portion connected to the third wall, and the fourth bracket portion connected to the first wall. The track further includes the first wall, the second wall, the third wall, and the fourth wall defining a first quadrilateral chamber. The track further includes the first bracket portion, the second bracket portion, the third bracket portion, and the first wall defining a second quadrilateral chamber, the first wall, the second wall, the third wall, the fourth wall, and the bracket are interconnected without welding.

An animation module is configured for use on a marble run module of a plurality of physically interconnectable marble run modules. The module includes a connector, an actuator, switch contacts, and a motor. The connector connects to a connector tube of a first marble run module of the plurality of physically interconnectable marble run modules. The actuator has a button and a shaft, and is configured to dispose at least a portion of the button below a bottom of the connector. The shaft extends upward from the button. The switch contacts are mounted at least indirectly on the connector and have a closed state and an open state. The motor is operably coupled to the switch contacts to rotate responsive to the switch contacts transitioning between the open state and the closed state.
