Hi Mark,

Nicely done, and welcome to the never ending fun of the GBC!

I’ve been also toying with the idea of using these tracks, and made a module using them as part of the GBC setup we had at Modelma (a modelism fair here in Belgium)

Nothing really special; but I wish I had thought about using wheels & tyres as you did... Using the sprocket wheels only is really making the whole thing jump a lot. But as long as balls go up, we don’t mind that much :-)

I haven’t taken the time to take pictures of it myself or write a detailed review, but if you’re interested you can see some pictures of our GBC setup here:

And a video can be found in this gallery: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=241037

I hope you’ll get in the mood of doing more GBC modules... the joy of putting various people’s modules together and making it all work is really great (and we don’t have that many yet - I can only dream of what it is with larger numbers)


Jean-Marc

I really like the minifig bulldozing the balls off the circular track. It’s very clever. So is the oil derrick.

I also like the wall you erected around the layout. Every GBC should have one of those!

In the video what is that wavy red thing made of?

Jordan,

If you could bring one of those to Brickworld, that would be
great.  Thanks.  :)

Looks like a garage door.

Well, we could create a GBC wall standard . . . that's a lot of plates I don't
have.

Oh, of course! I didn't think of those.
