This is the K'nex Incline Chain Lift Junior that I designed. It is a smaller version of the K'nex Incline Chain Lift that I have also made into an Instructable. The design for Junior is the same as the larger version with some small changes made to it as needed.

I first built the track for the balls based on other K'nex builds. It worked quite well. However, I decided to design a track of my own.

This version of the lift, uses the track design that I came up with. The track is quite smooth and the balls do not sit on the chain. Instead, the chain has a small channel of its own below the track.

Here are the counts of the pieces.
