Description

Ugears has designed some beautiful and challenging train models over the years, including the Locomotive, V Express Steam Train with Tender, and Hogwarts Express. With the Mini Locomotive, we bring you a simple, “Easy”-rated DIY train model that anyone can build, including junior train enthusiasts. This rubber band-powered wooden train (locomotive plus tender) model has a surprising get-up-and-go in such a compact body and can travel over 2m on a single winding. Sleek, retro styling harkens back to the 1930sthe last decade when coal-fired steam locomotives held prominence.

The locomotive features a wind-up ratchet key, a “Start/Stop” switch for easy operation, and three main paired wheels with connecting rods to send the train speeding away along any flat surface. The locomotive couples with an open coal tender that can be used to carry a favorite toy, snack, or note to a loved one across the room!
