A unique block construction for forming toy blocks which can be either interconnected to form a train, or stacked on top of each other. A block according to the invention includes a coupling which has a retracted position in which it forms part of the basic block contour when the block is to be stacked, and which can be manipulated into a protracted position for coupling the block to another block to form a train.
