Big Ben, Tower Bridge and the Ferris wheel: marbles rolling right across London.
A wooden marble run that travels past four London landmarks, including Big Ben, Tower Bridge and the Ferris wheel. The gears turn, the steel marbles roll from one attraction to the next, and a warm light glows over the whole scene. 431 pieces, five to six hours to build, no glue.
An animated mechanical wooden model kit that sets marbles rolling
The 431 pieces fit together without glue, following the illustrated instructions. Once plugged in via USB-C, the mechanism drives the gears and lifts the marbles, which roll back down past the landmarks while the warm light comes on. It's a model, a moving machine and a mood light all in one: you'll never get tired of watching the marbles go around.
Who's it for? A mechanics fan who wants to see what they built actually move. A London souvenir that doesn't just sit still. A gift for someone who loves gears.

Your questions about this kit
Does it need batteries?
No. The run plugs in via USB-C: the motion and the light start as soon as it's powered.
Can the marbles get lost?
They travel in a closed loop. Keep the box to store them if you move the model.
Is it a good kit for beginners?
With 431 pieces and a mechanism to adjust, it's best to have built a kit before. The instructions take you step by step.
