keep in mind, the old engines dont work well on much of the new track, and the new engines have trouble on the old track. the pre-revolution trackmaster engines have only minor issues on the tomy blue track.

for tracks by other companies, you would likely have to make your own some how.

but, is there any new track master to old track master adapters on eBay?

youll have to have a look.


TRACTOR, not traction. the tmr engines have huge teeth on their tyres, hence calling them tractor tyres. they are vastly different to the traction tyres of the older engines.
