As kids we loved this "machine"! When we were back in Austria, I rebuilt, with lead solder and iron wire, a part of such a machine, including a weight a turnout. It somehow worked for some a few times, but then the solder joints started to break. Here you can find more information about gravitram.

Before I continue with railroadiana, here's a picture of the museum name, including a rainbow:
