Yes, Great Fun.
I ordered the Hexcalator Ball Machine from Amazon today. ;D

Great fun Jan! I’ve been adding a few things like this as they seem to attract the most attention from kids at model engine shows. I really like how the forklift “pecks” at the balls like a bird digging worms/bugs out of the ground :D

I watched them all....gotta say that Hexcalator Ball Machine can really move some balls. I must watch them again to see which one (if not all) must reside in the St. Paul steam shop :)
Thanks for showing us this Jan.

Been assembling a few cheap plastic kits within the last months, and thought i´d share, as i found them fun (and easy) to put together, and more importantly possible contenders to be steam accessories...which they sort of proved right today.
4 out of 5 i´ve built, will easily be hauled by a toy steam engine. Unfortunately the last one, being a rubberband/spring-loaded model, just yanks to much in its own construction, to keep the balls on track when hauled via belt.
Will however see if i can´t build some supports for it at the critical areas, so that a proper movie can be made of that one as well.
Anyway, here´s the 4 succes-stories so far...
