Abstract:
A combination guidance apparatus and movable toy vehicles comprising:(a) a track having a first intersection;(b) a first subsurface vehicle adapted to selectively traverse the track;(c) a control unit;(d) first and second magnetic means for guiding subsurface vehicles in alternate directions through intersections, the first magnetic means being responsive to the control unit and disposed within the first intersection and the second magnetic means being disposed with the first subsurface vehicle;(e) magnetic means for stopping subsurface vehicles prior to entering the first intersection wherein said means for stopping is responsive to the control unit;(f) means for actuating subsurface vehicles stopped at the first intersection after the first and second magnetic means for guiding subsurface vehicles has been actuated;(g) a surface roadway located over the track; and(h) a first surface toy vehicle movable on the surface roadway in reaction to movement of the first subsurface vehicle.
