How to Set Up the Looping Track
Setting up the looping track for the Theo Klein Levels Looping Premium set is easy and fun. Here are step-by-step instructions to get your track ready for playtime.
Parts of the Track
- Straight track pieces - These form the main parts of the track
- Curved track pieces - Allow you to create loops and turns
- Ascending track pieces - Let you create a ramp up to the loop
- Looping track piece - The iconic 360 degree loop
- Supports - Hold the track in place
Assemble the Base Track
Start by connecting the straight pieces to form an oval or other basic shape on the floor or tabletop. Make sure the track connectors snap securely together. Use the included supports to hold the track pieces in place if needed.
Add Loops and Turns
Use the curved pieces to add loops, S-turns, or other shapes to your layout. Get creative with the track positioning! Just be sure to leave enough straight track for the ascending ramp and looping piece.
Install the Loop Section
Connect the ascending track pieces leading up to the high point for the loop. Position the 360 degree looping piece securely at the top using the supports. Make sure the track connects smoothly so the train can make it around the loop.
Once finished, your Theo Klein Levels Looping Premium track is ready for non-stop roller coaster action! Enjoy hours of imaginative playtime.
How to Connect Multiple Track Pieces
One of the best parts of the Theo Klein Levels Looping Premium set is combining multiple track pieces to create your own unique layouts. Here is how to securely connect the different track sections.
Getting Started
To get started, familiarize yourself with the three main track piece types:
- Straight pieces - For flat or gently sloping sections
- Curved pieces - For loops, turns, and elevation changes
- Ascending/descending pieces - For ramps up and down
Connecting the Track
When connecting any two pieces, start by aligning them end to end. Look for the connector tabs on the underside of the track. Make sure the tabs insert fully into the slots on the adjoining piece.
You'll hear a click when the pieces lock securely together. Give a gentle tug on the pieces to test they are fully connected.
Completing the Layout
Keep connecting track sections, mixing up straights, curves, and slopes as desired. Some tips:
- Use straights for most flat areas, and curves for interesting shapes
- Make gradual slopes up and down, not too steep
- Leave some straights for the motorized train to gain speed
With a variety of track pieces securely connected, you are ready for non-stop toy train action!
