Hey! Thanks!

My models start at :32 and end at 1.00. I'm the guy trying to start the engine and realize it's out of gas!

The maroon Corliss is mine too. (MEM version)

I had a great time at the show. This was the 29th annual and I haven't missed one yet!
My display is from 2:03 to 2:44. The marble machines driven by my air powered hit and miss engine attracted a lot of attention!
I really appreciate that this community has so many friendly, helpful and complimentary members!

Are those the Marble Spaceport and Marble Night City from Rokr? If they are, how do they stand up to extended use like that? I have them and the joining kit on the shelf to do.

Cheers

The marble runs are the Marble Parkour and the Marble Explorer from ROKR. I got them from Amazon. They are from 2019-2020 or so. I run them all day at the 4 shows that I attend every year. They have held up really well. I have had to do some fine tuning (watching where the balls fall off and gluing small pieces of wood on to keep them in the tracks) to keep them running smoothly. I glued everything together as I built them, and used plenty of wax on the moving parts. If I had to build them again, I would either paint or clear coat them as the humidity in the summer makes them swell and bind up. They get a lot of attention, especially from the kids.
 Thanks for your interest.
