You could not find it with that loose and sloppy description! :-)

You're right, slots are a better name than notches for the openings.
However I would say that "tabs" are a better name for the part on the
sleeper (or tie in US usage) that sticks up and connects to the slots.
I have to confess that I have not actually looked closely at Bandit's
secret Hideout, one copy is still in box in a lower bin layer and the
other one got parted out as soon as it came home. So I could be all wet
about whether it uses slotted rails or not. Nevertheless I still would
argue against blue or gray in the name.

| (...) I'm curious Chris, in what sets was that the case ? And do these gray ones have those "negative" tapered ends, just like the old blue track had ?
