My children used to have one like this, and now it's still used by my grandchildren, but this one is less noisy, more relaxing.

That's terrific Guy! =D> My son had Marble works and I thought that was fascinating too.
Hello Guy,
Wow that is really cool!!!
Did you use paths for the movements or is there some physics involved?

Thanks Larry and James.
No, I did not feel confident to use paths or physics. Next time ?
For each of the balls I made the necessary locrot keyframes - one at the end of each straight line, 11 per ball.
I changed the control points in the graph editor to vector to ensure straight lines, because otherwise the ballls would follow a curved path.
I probably could enhance a little where the balls drop out of the gutters to make it a curved path there anyway.
