Being a major symbol of the industrial revolution and the epitome of power and beauty, the locomotive has a worthy place in history. As the V-Express tendon locomotive is ready to roll away, it will take you on a fascinating journey into an era of invention, discovery and innovation.
Assembling the "Locomotive with Tender V-Express" by Ugears, you will feel like an explorer builder, who is the first to observe the magic of interaction of many elements and bringing the mechanism to life. A train is always a journey. Ugears promises that with the new locomotive model you will never be bored on the journey!
Constructor "Locomotive with tendon V-Express" is made of high-quality plywood, which has been tested by European laboratories and is used, among others, in the production of children's furniture. The set includes all the elements necessary for assembly. The workmanship of the elements is very high, as they are cut from plywood using a laser method.
Inside the package you will find plywood panels, from which you just need to remove the finished elements and assemble the finished model from them. You won't need glue or any special tools. Assembling the model is based on detailed instructions with drawings made in Polish and 10 other languages.
Design
The detailed futuristic design of the model will allow you to watch with bated breath the movement of the elements, the rotation of the gears and the flywheel, and learn the principle of operation of the piston mechanism, which is the basic node of a real locomotive.
How it works
When pulled, the locomotive travels up to four meters. The direction of movement can be changed with a small lever on the model's housing. The V-Express locomotive has three modes of movement: forward, reverse and neutral. With the mechanism in neutral mode, you can admire the action of the model's moving parts before the Express rushes off into the distance. On the other hand, by switching on the reverse gear, you can connect the locomotive to the tender, which is part of the model, with the help of a self-contained coupling.
Particularly noteworthy is the tender. In addition to lifting walls, the tender wagon also has a hopper opening with a miniature slider. Unlike the prototypes, the V-Express locomotive is powered not by coal, but by rubber propulsion, so there is a lot of free space in the tender, which you can use to transport small loads: candy, gifts, cards. It also comes with 2.45m long rails.
