@doug72, Awesome, thank you! Please forgive asking a question I could have just searched for. :) Are Loom bands from a weaving toy?

Help!! I have my first show coming up in February and I need a supply of rubber bands for the Train Reverse Triggers. The ones that I have are going bad. Which ones should I use, and where can I find them? Thanks for all the great info so far Gentlemen!

@Berthil would you happen to have plans for the white mouse that is in your Ball Catcher video? I would like to have a go at building it Currently I am assembling the parts for the Paternoster, Ball Field, and the Ball feeder. Going to attempt to have them all ready for a LEGO show in January. Thank you, Sir.

Nice, I will check into that today. One other thing not quite right is the car releases too soon at the top of the elevator. Which causes the car to jump over to the upper exit platform.

Double checked the 1/2 stud offset and it is in place. What I do see is that when the 8T gear is directly over the 24T gear I do see a very slight gap between the car and the bump stock. So I figure a bit of shimming should keep the 8T gear directly over the 24T gear. Going to try that at least. :)

Would anyone happen to have this GBC in a stud.io or .lxf file by chance?

@Lasse D Great module! I have built one and it runs ok, but The tipper has issues with returning to the upright position. Thank you for putting this one out there to build!

Just found this thread. I was wondering if anyone else has thought about using one central large 1 or 2 amp hour LiFePo battery. You can make a 9v pack and there are voltage regulators available to provide power to an “electrical grid” of sorts to power your motors. I have considered even building a model of the Battersea Power Station in London to hide the battery pack. Thoughts?

No counter weights just yet. I have noticed that when the ball car enters and goes up, there is a lot of tooth skipping on the gears, and the “rear” wheel gear wants to engage the rack gear. I figure that the car is too far forward and not sitting directly above the worm drive gears. I am going to try shimming the bump stops with card stock paper to see if I can center the ball car better.

Thanks Doug, I do have the main framing structure finished. That was the easy part. The train carrying platform is the next build. So much Lego packed into such a small space. Lol

Hello all, Are there instructions on how to build the Elevator version by Doug? I have every thing built except for the cart. Knowing where to start with that thing would be helpful. I do have the .lxf file. Currently building the Rotary Dumper, and have completed the passing siding and modified it to sit on 2 baseplates 32x32. ( stud.io file available if anyone interested ) Thanks for the help. Love this thread!

Great GBC Lasse, thank you for sharing. I made this and ran it at a Lego show locally and everyone loved it!
