anybody ever seen one of these?i would like to figure out how to fix it for a couple kids to use when they come over.it has its own power,and a switch to pop up the transition tracks to allow the cars to escape.the switch doesn't work,so the cars just go around and round!funny,but it would be nice to make it work...

I'll look. I might have one . If I do , it's yours if you cover the shipping. I might need parts one day.

i am interested in how the switch works mainly,but if the shipping isn,t too much,what the hey?thanks!neil

Should be a wire that goes to your controller to operate the trap door.

there's a circuit board in it and there was a switch that never worked...

When I attend model railroad shows we joke that some of the just plain awful things for sale on some of the dealers table are so bad.......

That the patrons of the show should be allowed to just take them off the table and stomp them!

When I saw this loop this idea popped into my head once again!

if it keeps the kids happy,what the hell?most of us probably had goofy bits like this growing up,and if thats what it took to get us interested,than that's just fine by me.i do not use goofy things like this in my layout,or any other"specialty tracks"strictly straights and curves...but if i can make it work and get a smile out of a kid,it's well worth the effort and potential embarrassment to show it here and see if anyone knows how i can get it going.let's try to remember its not about the best lap time for kids sometimes.sometimes its goofy loops and and silly glow in the dark cars that get their attention.and furthermore,anyway to get the kids away from the nintendo is good in my books.even goofy loops...

I always wanted to take all that loop-t-loop stuff, chicanes , cross overs , fire rings etc and make a track from all that mess. Oh , did i leave out the 9'' radious curves. Ah huh , them too.

I've just never done it.

it's all about having fun anyways...i like putting together a goofy track to play with kids sometimes.i could do a triple loop track if i wanted to at this point with all the track my bros have given me...with crossovers and skid tracks and squeeze tracks...lol!
