The studs could be different from the original version: instead of pressed from the top (of the stud), both halves of the mold could press the studs sideways (note that I am referreing to the track as being on its side during the process). It would result in one of those ugly lines in the studs, and they would not have "LEGO" printed on them, but it could work as a low cost alternative. Pedro

(...) Well, the track segments are fairly large parts, which means (I think) the cost of developing the molds is higher. And the track would require at least a three-part mold, because there are studs facing left and right. (...) True. Steve (23 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.dear-lego)
