5-way track splitter

I no longer need to stack my track splitters when I have an RBS with multiple tracks. Here is a video of my NEW track splitter system. I cannot take credit for coming up with this design on my own, but it is my own interpretation. The switch shown here today takes one track and splits it into 5 tracks. Tracks 1 through 4 each get a marble, and the 5th marble resets the switch. So without any further explanation, here's the video: If you want to see all of the video, click on it's title so it takes you to a YouTube page. Don't forget to thumbs up!

3ft tall skinny spiral

Now to add entrance and exit ramps, then install.

This part is now installed and it works like a charm. When I get around to taking other video of the elements on this RBS, I'll update this post and add video.

Frame and lift

This is where it always begins - with a frame and then the motorized lift. In this case, a chain lift. 48" tall x 36" wide x 18" deep, when completed.

Now that it's bent into shape, next step is to add spacers.
