  1. A row of steel 1/2 inch marbles speeds down a 200 feet long Lego train track! At the end of the track there are a large number of bells. You'll see also a night train with glowing marbles.
  2. Thanks! (i just unlinked the video urls)
  3. Thanks! EDIT: now i managed to embed the video instead of just a link.
  4. How can i embed youtube videos instead of using links? Is it possible to make a UBB code tag for embedding videos?
  5. Thanks, i have already started some topics, i will add more topics in the coming weeks. I decided to post it one by one instead of 20 at once.
  6. We know the FIFA world cupor the olympic games, but in the marble world, there's also a world cup marble racing! 40 marbles representing 40 countries will battle for the "Blue Marble" world cup on 4 different tracks. In 2016, i will upload a new world cup video.
  7. No, it just runs automatically using a conveyor belt.
  8. Here's a video from Marble City, an amusement park for marbles with 27 different attractions starting from 4 platforms. The longest track is over 200 feet long. It has also nice lighting and a conveyor belt who brings the marbles to the top.
  9. Yes! That's a good heading! I hope to see it appearing soon. Thanks!
  10. Dear moderators, is it an idea to make a subforum related to marble runs and marble games? I mean contraptions and toys like marble runs, marble machines, rolling ball sculptures, but also marble games. I tried it also in Land of Marbles, but no reaction.
  11. Thanks for your comments, My youtube channel runs very good, but still there are some competitors on Youtube who mades simple toy plastic marble runs (which you can buy in almost every toy stores) that attracts millions of views. But after a insane media hype around my "Marble Tsunami" with 11,000 marbles, my channel gains 2 million views in just some weeks time, beating almost all competition and ruling the search results. It's hard to miss me when you enter "marbles" or "marble run" in youtube. But i still wonder why Youtube gives some simple uninteresting videos millions of views... I began building marble runs on my 4th birthday after i get a marble run as a birthday gift from my parents. I managed to get a guinness record longest marble run in May 2009, unfortunately, it was beaten by a competitor in 2011 My biggest dream is to start a small museum or exhibition with my marble runs, another wish is to make a marble run somewhere in the USA.
  12. I'm Jelle Bakker, 32 years old and my biggest hobby is building marble runs and similar things, i have also a collection of marbles, but mostly toy marbles which is used for the marble runs. I have also a web site and a Youtube Channel with more than 30,000 subscribers. I live in Amersfoort, (the Netherlands) and my bedroom has a large marble run. I builded also marble runs inside museums, indoor playgrounds, hospitals, super markets ad more. I like mostly the sounds, i use often bells, wood, nails, springs to make sound when a marble strikes it.
  13. Thanks for your share! I just created an account here, i found this forum after a tip of one of my Youtube subscribers. I don't have a cat indeed, i have a form of autism and i'm not able to care for it.
