I was in the UK a while back and visited a "marble factory" (can't remember the name, save to say it was large).

On some of the walls they had, for want of a better description, a gravity-toy, which featured marbles rolling along tracks, dropping on levers, opening gates, spinning wheels, and finally ending up at the bottom, where an escalator system dragged them to the top to start over again.

IO found these fascinating but have no idea what they are called and if one can purchase them in kit form, or plans to build as a hobby project.

If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

Thanks

Terry
