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:

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've not made very much GBC before but this was such a nice idea that I thought I'd have a go Brian: (URL) I used 36 tracks with pins on alternate ones to give a maximum 4 balls/second output. This can be reduced easily to the standard 1 (...) (18 years ago, 21-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.loc.uk, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !
