Quick answer
The PlanToys Rubber Road & Rail Expansion Tracks - Set B adds four two-sided curved rubber tracks to your existing wooden railway, letting you build flexible road and rail layouts. It's a simple, sustainable add-on that works with most standard train sets and the PlanWorld series.
What's in the box and why it matters
The Rubber Road & Rail Expansion Tracks - Set B contains four curved tracks made from flexible rubber. Each track is two-sided, meaning one side works as a road for cars and the other as a rail for trains. This dual-sided design doubles your layout options without needing extra pieces.
Because the rubber is flexible, you can bend the tracks to create non-standard shapes—S-curves, gentle turns, or tight circles—that rigid wooden tracks can't achieve. This is especially useful if your child enjoys building custom roadways or connecting different play zones.
Compatibility and limitations
These expansion tracks are part of the PlanWorld series and are designed to work with PlanToys trains and cars, as well as most other standard wooden railway systems. However, they do not include any vehicles or connectors—you'll need to use your existing train set or road vehicles.
One limitation is that the set only includes curved tracks. If you need straight sections or switches, you'll need to purchase those separately. Also, because the rubber is flexible, it may not hold a precise shape on very smooth surfaces without some weight from a train or car.
How to decide if this expansion set is right for you
- Check your current set's connectors: Look at the ends of your existing tracks. If they have standard male/female tabs (like most wooden railways), the Rubber Road & Rail tracks will connect. If you have a proprietary system (e.g., certain plastic brands), test one track first.
- Consider your child's play style: If your child loves building unique road layouts, racing cars, or combining road and rail in one scene, the flexible rubber tracks add real value. If they prefer rigid, predictable train loops, stick with standard wooden expansion sets. This set is best for creative builders, not for kids who only want a simple oval.
- Plan for additional pieces: Since this set only includes curved tracks, you'll need straight tracks, a train, or road vehicles from your existing collection to complete a layout. If you're starting from scratch, buy a starter set first. Buy this as an add-on, not a standalone set.
