YellowMarble Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I made this marble run (Marble Machine) three years ago for MAD museum Stratford upon Avon (UK). It has 3 lifters and lots of funny sounds: \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Nifty as always. I was about to say my brother and his family went to Stratford upon Avon this past year. But I'm pretty sure I was wrong. They went to the Globe Theatre. That's a long way from Stratford, I guess. So never mind me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowMarble Posted October 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 the MAD museum is worth a visit! I have 3 marble runs displayed there as long with other marble runs and contraptions. @Steph: I don't see another members of this forum after you and Hoody, has the other members noticed this subforum? (maybe you can make an announcement?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstmmrbls Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 It is very probable that being a marble collector does not necessarily make one interested in marble runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I think that could be so, but I wish it weren't so. It's like with marble tournaments. Not that many collectors are interested in the actual game of marbles. Yet where would marble collectors be if there weren't so many players who went before? I'm excited for anything which keeps people playing with the little orbs. Plus the more I look at the marble runs the more I like 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowMarble Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Marble runs and marble collecting are very different interest indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoody Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 It is very probable that being a marble collector does not necessarily make one interested in marble runs. That's a good point. Might be the same as taste: everyone has its own preferences. Even imagine the nightmare of a marble collector: his ancient, most precious and rare collectives running through motorized lifters, high g-force loops and hard metal tracks thousands and thousands of turns. (But don't panic. I am just using the collectibles of next century - todays industrial mass production) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
