Woodcraft sells the two bits needed, and they do a good job, (Whiteside).

MLCS sells them:

I've made straight track without any special bits:
1. Cut the track grooves using a dado.
2. Chamfer the edges of the grooves using a V-groove bit. Also the outside
edges
should be chamfered to avoid splinters.
3. The female connection is just a hole with the ends cut out, and bevelled.
4. I free-hand cut the male connection; it is supposed to be a little loose,
after all, kids
will be pretty rough with it.
I can't see how to make curved track without something like the
single-groove
bit they mention, though.

I think I am being a lot more specific than "plans for a tea cart".
Don't you?
Woodcraft use to sell the bits, but not anymore.
