  • Lego GBC Reservoir Lift in Yellow

    Lego GBC Reservoir Lift in Yellow

    Lego GBC Reservoir Lift in Yellow is a variation of Stuarts lift module with the aim of showing the inner mechanism.

    I have a pair of these modules as they have capacity well over 200 balls and will output them at exactly 1 ball per second.

    This makes them great utility modules, that when spaced around a GBC layout will even out the flow of balls.

    These modules have the same mechanism as the Lego GBC Rainbow Lift modules.

    Night Lighting

    These modules are set up for night running with each module having a custom Lego UV/Led lights, with the UV shining on the balls and the lego light passing through a transparent colored brick to color the module.
