Abstract: A toy is disclosed for a segmented tube track kit. The toy comprises a tube, comprised of reversibly attachable tubes. In one embodiment, the tube segments are held together frictionally. In another embodiment, tube segments are held together by locking mechanisms consisting of projections and cutouts. The toy vehicle in the kit has a drive wheel which is forced up away from the body of the car and against the inner walls of the tube by resilient members. In another embodiment, the vehicle has a tumbler wheel at the front of the car.

Abstract: An illuminated track system is disclosed, comprising plurality of track segments. Each track segment is composed of a floor, with the floor comprising a front section, said front section comprising a coupler, a back section, said back section comprising a coupler mouth, an underside, said undersiding comprising a first conductive contact connecting said coupler to said coupler mouth and a second conductive contact connecting said coupler to said coupler mouth, a top section and at least one illumination bulb, said positioned from said underside and connected to said first conductive contact and to said second conductive contact. A power source is connected to an assembly of said plurality of said track segments, such that the assembly forms a closed circuit.
