As you know on my other thread about the Bachmann OO gauge Underground Ernie trains thread I posted some pictures and info about the battery versions as well, including the fact that they are claimed by some to be compatible with Tomy BPT.
OK, well good/great news, I just got a delivery of a job lot of "Underground Ernie" battery train tracks, after all whats the point of having the trains and no track? Only to find they are almost 100% identical to the older dark blue Tomy track, down to the texture in the wheel tracks. Taking a standard curve for example they are a 100% duplicate size and thickness to our well beloved currently BPT and connect perfectly as well!
Here's some pictures, including some of the mixture of track I got (there are also some straight pieces, but they are simply the same as Tomy, but the half and quarter length versions. There was however a nice 4 way points piece (2 of), a turntable and a tunnel in the job lot;
