Kinetic Marble Track Around The Top Of A Room

Step 9Enjoy the Finished Marble Track

Enjoy the Finished Marble Track
Now that you have finished installing the marble track you can sit back and enjoy the looks on the kids faces (and adults) that get to enjoy the track.  This is a very satisfying thing when you are building something like this for your son or daughter.  My son almost always has to run the track at night as he lays down to go to bed.

You may find that the track needs a bit of fine tuning from time to time.  It usually isn't a big deal and most of the time the only maintenance you will need to do is replacing batteries. I find that I need to replace batteries about every 4 or 5 months.

If you don't have a room where you can run a track around the entire perimeter of the room you can always build a smaller marble track.  Here is a video of one I built for my other son.


The pictures below are of the two finished main sections of marble track.  Something like this can be a challenging project, but the rewards are endless as you watch your kids playing with it.
