I have constructed a Christmas Marble Machine, it has 5 unique paths and lots of bells and gongs producing jingle bells like sound. I used a elevator from a Spacerail Ball Coaster set to bring the marbles up to the top.
This marble machine can be reused and expanded in the future.
Paths:
- Double race track with tipover
- Pinball Xmas Tree with gong
- Vortex and Jingle Bells slalom
- Ski Jump with gong
- Slalom Xmas Tree with Cochlea spiral track
Specs / Features:
- Spiral elevator from a Spacerail set with adjustable speed and push button
- LED lighting
- Dimensions: 104 cm wide X 34 cm deep X 54 cm High
- Building time: 84 hours
- Number of marbles: 30 (12 mm, 1/2 inch)
On my site are more photos from this project and other Marble Runs.

Wow, this is really neat. It’s the first one I’ve looked at on this site.
The many hours paid off – I showed the video to my kids and they said ‘wow, can you make that?’ Uh, no.
Great job

Love it. It’s absolutely fantastic. The sound it makes reminds me of the cash register sounds at the beginning of Pink Floyd’s “Money.”
