Simple Rube Goldberg Machine IV

Not my best machine but it involves some new ideas. Camera work also leaves more to be desired but you can see the steps. This machine was supposed to go bowling but it only knocked down one pin! I think it's kind of funny so I won't redo it. This was my most reliable machine, it only took three tries to work!

Here are the steps:
1)I put a marble in a wooden marble game and it slides down and moves a screw.
2)The screw is pulled by a magnet and hits a wooden marble block with a marble on it. The marble falls in and knocks down a domino on the way out.
3)The dominoes fall down and then hit a toy train (which has been in all my machines so far) and moves a wooden block.
4)The block goes over a track made for a marble and moves to knock down some dominoes. Those hit another one of those marble blocks and a marble falls in.
5)The marble travels down a track and hit some dominoes which make a 90 degree left turn and make another marble go down the track.
6)That marble hits a domino with another marble which ricochets off. This is repeated to gain momentum.
7)The marble nicks the bottom of a sideways domino which falls down and sets off a chain. One domino hits a stick with a holes with a screw in the middle and rotates it to hit some more dominoes.
8)The dominoes knock down a wooden block which falls upon a train which rolls down a track.
9)The train hits another stick which rotates to hit another. The second stick then moves an upwards facing stick back releasing a screw to roll down a plastic sheet.
10)The screw knocks down a wooden block which jostles a marble out of it's place and sets off a "domino" run.
11)A N64 cartridge hits a bowling ball which rolls down to hit some bowling pins.
12)STRIIIIIKE! Whoops I mean one pin down.

@khusbuhartparamore I know, but this long, complicated one is NOT simple. Something short and made of household objects would be simple I guess.

[khusbuhartparamore]

@DriftLV1 it's made by incorporating simple machines like levers, wheel-and-axles, etc.
