Track assembly and layout
Joining the track sections
oin the track sections together by placing them on a flat surface and inserting the plastic
J
tabs of each track section into the corresponding openings of the next section. Press or
squeeze the ties together to connect. This may require the help of an adult. Recheck all track
connection points upon completing your layout to be sure they are secure.
To disassemble the track just lift one of the track sections slightly at an angle where they
join together and they will snap apart. See Figure 1.
The rails should be kept clean, dry, and free from oil, grease, and dirt. Clean the track
periodically with a clean soft cloth.
