Abstract: A track toy includes an infrared signal transmitter for transmitting at least one type of infrared signal, a track having at least one changeover element movable between two operative positions, and a drive coupled to the at least one changeover element for driving the chageover element between the two operative positions. An infrared signal receiver is associated with each at least one changeover element for receiving the at least one type of infrared signal transmitted by the infrared signal transmission device, and a controller operatively coupled to the infrared signal receiver and the drive, outputs a drive command signal to the drive when the received type of infrared signal matches as predetermined type of infrared signal corresponding to the at least one changeover element.

Abstract: A radio control device for a track travelling toy includes a speed change lever which is mechanically coupled to a speed indicator so that as the selected speed changes, the speed indicator changes accordingly. The device further includes a horn activating button, and a directional control lever. The directional control lever is likewise mechanically coupled to a directional indicator.
