UGears V-Express Steam Train Wood Model Kit

The minutely detailed futuristic design of the V-Express reveals the beauty of moving details: gears and a flywheel, the work of cylinder-piston arrangement – almost an exact miniature copy of one of the main mechanical blocs of a real locomotive. One full winding will give your V-Express energy enough to cover a distance of up to four meters (13 feet). You can change the direction of movement by switching a small lever on the side of the models’ body. The locomotive has three settings: forward, back and idle. The coal car with lifting sides has a hatch that you can lock with a tiny latch.

This wooden puzzle’s 538 pieces are made of high-grade wood composite, and the DIY model kit comes with everything you might need for assembly.  The quality of the parts is top-notch: a laser method is used to cut the pieces into a plywood board, providing precise hairline cuts. Simply pull the pieces out of the boards and assemble by snapping them together to create a complete model using the step-by-step, full-color, easy-to-follow instructions in 11 languages.  Requires neither glue nor special tools to be fully assembled into functional, self-propelled Train with Tender. This advanced level of difficulty model has an estimated assembly time of 10 hours. When assembled, train measures 22″ x 4.7″ x 4.7″ and track is 96.5″ 4.7″ x 4.7″.
