Have got one of these railtrack and road track toys with the green "mountain" but not enough bits of either track to complete it IYSWIM.
The Little Tikes website ( .com)says they only mail spare parts to within USA. Tried co.uk website but that takes me to their Thomas the Tank bed order form and nothing else(no home page etc)
Anyone know where you can get spare parts for their discontinued toys (at least I'm presuming its discontinued as its about 5 yrs old).
I have emailed them in the USA but figured I might get a quicker/more accurate response on here
TIA.

is it one of these

If so I think we have something similar unless we have already given it away (someone gave it us but DS never took to it & I think it had a few bits missing)

Thats the one WW !
I had presumed it was no longer available but from your link I guess it is current stock

OOps - DH informed me that it went in the last charity collection bag. Sorry ! But from a Google search it does seem to be about.

Oh never mind -thanks for responding anyway WW. At least I now know it might be easier to get the parts as its still available

Anyone contacted Little Tikes for parts before? Any dealings with them?

How many pieces do you have, we have it at nursery and its a right PITA to get it together we have a map thingy to refer too Something like starting at hill straight straight corner straight junction bla bla bla...

Sorry, went to put kids to bed.
Never thought of looking on ebay for odd bits like that -thanks charliebat.
We've got most bits I think. I'm not sure what the proper formation is but I've worked out that to get a full road and rail loop I need :
4x straight railtracks
3x curved road pieces
1x straight road piece
( that doesn't take into account a piece that looks like half a bridge -confused emoticon! will have to "lose" that bit somewhere)

I will have a look tommorow and if i get 2 mins I will copy the map thingy we have!

hornbag · 30/10/2005 20:12

Thanks charliebat, that would be great -will stop much head scratching here!

We got one of those from a car boot sale with a bit missing. I just rang
D&A Toys and they sent me spare parts. Not very expensive either. I think they are the UK stockists for Little Tikes.

Arrgghhh mentioned it...saw it and forgot..will do it at some point

hornbag · 31/10/2005 19:13

Thank you joolee -had a quick look at their website, think that will be the answer!
Thanks also charliebat - I have numerous moments like that everyday
