The Varianto Elektro (battery operated) models all begin with 31, like the 3142U Lasto or the 3118 Station Car.       The Varianto track is very much like A long spring, very flexible. The connectors are small metal tubes, you stick one spring into one end of the connector and another into the other end of the connecter and, whala! there connected. Then theres the hard track. These are pieces of wire, like clothes hanger wire but A bit thinner. You could even use A thinner clothes hanger by cutting and shapeing it. The hard track uses the same connectors.       The various "Traffic Devices" and accessories generaly have A long connecter protuding from it to slip the spring (track) over it.       Most of the accessories have "Stop" devices on them. These are just devices that lock in place and block the vehicle from going on, you set it to stop the auto or let it pass. The elektro series generaly have A pivoting front bumper which when pressed in on one side stops the vehicle so the auto does not set there and burn out the batteries. The Stop devices are positioned so thay press in on the elektro's bumper stopping it, the wind-ups just stop, keeping themselves wound.
