I found this upon a random image search:

Does anyone have any idea where it came from? It's clearly TrackMaster 1 due to the size, connectors and gauge, but I can't ID it.
Looking at the definition on it and the colour I would say it is almost certainly output from a 3D printer...

Without some perspective, to me, it seems to be too small and there is the strange fact that the ends of the tracks seem to flare up unless thats an optical illusion and they flare out..

Seams to be a custom piece sold by a Amazon seller: https://www.amazon.com/Thomas-Train-Trac...B00E259H5S

Good piece of detective work Killer. This seller is a member here at BPT and was making and selling the Black replacement couplers but I don't see them listed anymore on his Ebay site. He is a fine fellow. http://www.ebay.com/sch/smichonmoldmaker...ksid=p3692

Excellent! Hopefully that solves this awkward mystery.
The question here would be if the seller created the piece or made a mold of an original to duplicate it....Mystery...ongoing Big Grin

Based on the reviews it was created during a time where a official cross piece did not exist.
