Thanks Jay, these type of toys are a challenge the marble has to be stopped first then kick out of the track. :)

I bet they are! I notice how smooth it worked. Can't be easy to get that result with only a picture to go by.
You can tell I didn't make it haha!

Nope -- but we're sick of all the BS going on in this world.......

Your vintage toys, creations and old-school projects help keep us sane.

Don't stop -- The world needs more of Pitchy!

Thanks guys,, the reason i mentioned it is because it seems people don`t reply as much as they used to so figured maybe they object to our off topic threads.
We appreciate your replies as it`s a lot of work to make this stuff and shoot vids pics ect.. and we don`t want to do something that most people don`t care to see here.
We are making another marble toy as we speak and will show it later if it works, thanks again. :)

Thanks Lenn. I got my 6 year old Jr. to watch the video and I think it cheered him up a little after losing his daddy a couple weeks ago. He's playing with Hot Wheels right now. Better than computer games.
