There are a few consecutive runs, but usually there are large gaps from one ID to the next. The range of IDs spans from B1836 for the first Tracktown Railway set released in 2003 through X3413 for the Cars 2 World Grand Prix Gift Set of 2011 (as far as I know).

The location of this ID varies depending on the type of set. With the exception of the track sets, every GeoTrax set has a 5-character ID. You may own a used set that you found at a yard sale, or a thrift store, or bought online. If it didn’t come with its original packaging, there’s no obvious way of telling what the name of the set it, just by looking at the pieces.įortunately, there is a way to identify the set precisely, if you know where to look.

That’s a very possible, even probable, situation to be in because most GeoTrax sets are in used condition these days. Have you ever owned or found a GeoTrax set and wondered what it was called? Have you pondered how to identify the original name given by the designers when they created it?
