30 years ago, Creative Playthings had a product like this called “Multiway
Rollway”.
|
I had one of those sets. It was one of the toys, along with Lego, that I played
with the most, even into my teens. I was trying to remember the name of it
after I saw Jon’s post.
The blocks were just smooth enough to be “safe” toys, but not so slick that they
slid apart too easily. Painted marble rolls are too slick. And I never could
figure out how they drilled the curved tunnels. Even now, most wooden marble
runs either have straight tunnels, or curved blocks that are split to allow the
curve to be cut with a router.

| (...) Ah yes, the curved passages. Does Cuboro have those? I would dare as much as to get my knuckle stuck in them. 'Steeth! I bet they drilled from both faces and then rasped out the rest. Would that I had a block here to examine. -Erik (19 years ago, 17-Mar-06, to lugnet.build, FTX)

| (...) This is a cool idea. Building the building blocks... but how do you get them sloped properly? 30 years ago, Creative Playthings had a product like this called "Multiway Rollway". (They only make jungle gyms and slides now.) (19 years ago, 16-Mar-06, to lugnet.build, FTX)
