Abstract: A toy includes a board having a path and a plurality of animal figures drawn on the board along the path, and a toy sightseeing bus moved along the path. Electrically conductive members are formed on the path at positions opposing the animal figures for producing commands which specify the corresponding animals. A group of contacts are arrayed on the bottom of the toy bus in such a manner that the contacts come into sliding contact with the electrically conductive members. When the toy bus arrives at a position opposing an animal figure, a set of the contacts is closed selectively by the electrically conductive member corresponding to this animal figure so that the closed contacts generate a signal designating the animal.

Abstract: A driving/turnaround device in use with a remote controlled toy vehicle comprises a reversible motor operable by an external command, an intermediate gear being in mesh with a gear rotated by the motor, a pair of axles being independently provided for right and left driving wheels, the intermediate gear being in mesh with a gear for transmitting a drive force to one of the axles, a rectilinear movement gear and a turnaround reduction gear being in mesh with a gear for transmitting a drive force to the other of the axles, a swing member rotatably mounted to the car body being provided with a pair of switch gears meshing with each other, the swing member being swung so that one of the pair of the switch gears meshes with the intermediate gear, while the other is in mesh with the rectilinear movement gear in the forward rotation, and is meshed with the reduction gear in the reverse rotation.
